Erzählstrukturen der Artusliteratur

En savoir plus sur le livre

The book explores various aspects of historiography and narrative forms in the context of Arthurian literature from the late 12th century. It includes discussions on the interplay between historiographical and fictional storytelling, early forms of parallel action in epic and romance, and the narrative function of prophetic speech in Arthurian tales. Contributions address the complexities of the 'double path' in classical Arthurian romances, the structural play in comedic adaptations, and the relationship between structure and character in Arthurian narratives. The text also examines analytical narrative forms in Wolfram von Eschenbach's "Parzival," the awareness of conventions in Heinrich von dem Türlin's "Crône," and the syntagmatic and paradigmatic structures in Girart d'Amiens' "Escanor." Further insights are provided on narrative conclusions in Arthurian romances, the narrative structures in prose romances, and the representation of Arthur's death. The book also delves into the recycling of Arthurian symbols in the late Middle Ages and the narrative structures in the Middle Dutch "Lancelot Compilation," as well as the narrative strategies in "Reinfried von Braunschweig" and the reception of Arthurian structures in Ulrich von Liechtenstein's "Frauendienst."
