Allegory and the poetic self
(2022)
This book is the first collective examination of Late Medieval intimate first-person narratives that blurred the lines between author, narrator, and protagonist and usually feature personification allegory and courtly love tropes, creating an experimental new family of poetry. In this volume, contributors analyze why the allegorical first-person romance embedded itself in the vernacular literature of Western Europe and remained popular for more than two centuries. The editors identify and discuss three predominant forms within this family: debate poetry, dream allegories, and autobiographies. Contributors offer textual analyses of key works from late medieval German, French, Italian, and Iberian literature, with discussion of developments in England, as well. Allegory and the Poetic Self offers a sophisticated, theoretically current discussion of relevant literature. This exploration of medieval “I” narratives offers insights not just into the premodern period but also into Western literature’s subsequent traditions of self-analysis and identity crafting through storytelling.
Der mutmaßlich erste Roman Rudolfs von Ems ist in mehrfacher Hinsicht eine literarische Ausnahmeerscheinung: Sein Protagonist Gerhart ist kein Ritter, sondern ein Kölner Kaufmann. Und nicht ein allwissender Erzähler, sondern Gerhart selbst erzählt seine vorbildliche Lebensgeschichte, um Kaiser Otto, der sich eines Frevels schuldig gemacht hatte, zu Einsicht und Besserung zu führen. Geschickt verbindet der Autor Elemente der Autobiographie, des Aventiure- und Minneromans.
Norbert Kössinger und Katharina Philipowski legen mit dieser zweisprachigen Ausgabe einen handschriftennahen Text, eine genaue und dennoch lesbare neuhochdeutsche Übersetzung mit Stellenkommentar und ein ausführliches Nachwort vor.
One of the central features that medieval narratives in the first person have in common is their specific structure. Most of them are not continuously and coherently narrative, but in most cases include long discursive sections or textual elements such as letters, prayers, songs, or dialogues. The classification of these texts as narrative literature is thus anything but self-evident. The contributions to this volume examine how first-person discursivity and narrativity interact in French, German, and Italian narratives, what interrelation exists between the first-person narrative stance and discursivity, and how the literary forms of narrativity and discursivity (each of which is assigned a specific tense, namely the past tense and the present tense) relate to each other.
