Synopsis

Designs like Tristan and Artus with his knights of the round table, Hagen and Kriemhild, Tannhäuser and Walther von der Vogelweide or Jeanne d'Arc and Richard Lionheart shape our idea of the Middle Ages. As the subject of countless narratives and artistic designs, they have remained alive in the reservoir of cultural allusions and associations, however vague their outlines may occasionally remain. The contours of the individual designs are traced by the present volume. The around 220 articles signs, starting from the sources received, the most important features and life stations, trace the development of the fabric within the literature of the Middle Ages and finally offer an overview of the continuation in the various artistic media of the modern period. Around seventy illustrations bring representations in the visual arts and on stage. If you want to get involved in the origin of the figures in the medieval texts, you will find detailed references to editions and translations. In addition, the main contributions of the research are recorded.
