 | Saracens and Conversion: Chivalric Ideals in Aliscans and Wolfram's Willehalm (Studies in Old Germanic Languages and Literature)
Publication Date: May 21, 2012| ISBN-10: 3034307810 | ISBN-13: 978-3034307819At the heart of Wolfram von Eschenbach's Willehalm are Saracens: instrumental figures in the driving themes of conquest, loyalty, vassalage, chivalry, love-service and redemption that run through the text.

Publication Date: December 7, 2000| Series: Arthurian Studies (Book 45) Ulrich von Zatzikhoven's Lanzelet, written around the turn of the thirteenth century, has long intrigued scholars both within and outside German studies: the only remaining trace of a Lancelot legend free of the adulterous affair with Guinevere, it has been seen both as a precursor of classical Arthurian romance in Germany, and as a post-classical imitation, and attempts to interpret it have often run foul of its contradictions.

|  | Remnants of Song: Trauma and the Experience of Modernity in Charles Baudelaire and Paul Celan (Cultural Memory in the Present)
Publication Date: September 1, 2000| Series: Cultural Memory in the Present In a bold reassessment, this book analyzes the works of Charles Baudelaire and Paul Celan, two poets who frame our sense of modern poetry and define the beginning and end of modernity itself.The two poets share a feature that seems to block their placement in such an easy chronological or historical scheme: each accounts for an experience that will not fully enter memory, but dissipates in the mind in the form of trauma, fragments, and shock.
