Review # 1 was written on 2013-03-05 00:00:00 Lisa Renee Williams A good collection of papers on the reception of Chretian De Troyes Arthurian Romances in medieval Germany. The book explores how authors such as Hartmann von Aue and Wolfram von Eschenbach used these French works and adapted them for their own artistic creations in Erec, Iwein and Parzival. Essential reading for those interested in the Middle High German Arthurian Romances.

Pros: - the book showed its arguments very clearly. I didn't have to search the entire book to find out what the author is exactly saying. - the arguments were always substantiated with evidence so even if I hadn't read the Greek plays, I would understand what she is trying to say. Cons: - Well, the arguments were always substantiated with evidences from the Greek plays, and eh, no one has read ALL of them to understand every single thing, right? Things didn't make sense because of this at some points. Verdict: Pretty decent read. Can't judge it much but yeah, it was good.
