This book presents a thorough examination of one of the most iconic medieval German poems, an epic tale with over two thousand stanzas, focused on the illustrious knight Wolfdietrich.

Through a comprehensive textual analysis, the author uncovers the poem's rich thematic tapestry, highlighting themes of loyalty, love, honor, and the struggle against evil.
