Chretien de Troyes and the German Middle Ages

0 - Default Title
Description
The pre-eminent role of Chrétien de Troyes in the formation of Arthurian romance is reflected in the swift and brilliant response of German courtly poets to his works. Within a few years of their composition, 'Erec et Enide' and 'Yvain' were adapted for German audiences by Hartmann von Aue, while Chrétien's unfinished Grail-story was taken up by Wolfram von Eschenbach and brought to a triumphant conclusion in 'Parzival'. In this volume a distinguished international team of scholars contrast the treatment and reception of the stories in Germany with their French originals.
