Bright Rose, The: Early German Verse 800-1280 (Arc Classic Translations) (Arc Classics: New Translations of Great Poets of the Past) - Softcover
Synopsis
Translated in verse for the first time
These translations of some of the earliest known German poetry give us a rich glimpse of a life that, while alien in so many ways, was not so different after all. The Minnesang poets, for example, engage in a highly professional ritual, but compose in cognitive metaphors that still ring true: love is a trap; love is a game; love is war. A beautiful, lyrical journey through the passions and fears of pre-Medieval German life, told by some of its finest poetic voices.
The first part, translated from Old High German, includes the most important poems written anonymously in monastery scriptoria from the ninth to the eleventh centuries, though in many cases an older, Indo-European past is witnessed: the Song of Hildebrand; the Muspilli; the Song of Ludwig; the Wessobrunn Prayer; various spells, blessings and verses. These poems offer an overview of a society in transition from a Germanic worldview to the Christian. The second part, from Middle High German, offers mainly texts from the medieval Minnesang [love song] by minstrels active in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries at German courts.

paperback. Condition: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
