Wirnts von Grafenberg Wigalois gehört zu den wichtigsten Artusromanen des hohen Mittelalters. Der um 1210/20 entstandene Roman greift auf Motive aus den ,klassischen' mittelhochdeutschen Romanen, z. B. aus Wolframs Parzival und Hartmanns Erec, zurück. Er erzählt die âventiure des Gawein-Sohnes Wigalois, der bei der Suche nach seinem Vater an den Artushof gelangt und dort in die Tafelrunde aufgenommen wird. Als Artusritter besteht er zahlreiche Bewährungsproben, die schließlich in eine ideale Herrschaft im Königreich Korntin münden. Die reiche Überlieferung des Romans (41 Handschriften) zeugt von seiner Beliebtheit vom frühen 13. bis ins späte 15. Jahrhundert. Diese neue Ausgabe enthält nicht nur den mittelhochdeutschen Text (nach Kapteyn), sondern zugleich eine Übersetzung in modernes Deutsch. Darüber hinaus bietet sie einen Stellenkommentar, ein ausführliches Nachwort mit Hinweisen zur Gattungsfrage und Motivik, zum 'Sitz im Leben' und zur Interpretation, Register zu den Namen und zum Kommentar sowie eine Bibliographie zum Wigalois .

Composé au début du XIIIe siècle, Merlin est une œuvre pionnière. Premier roman en prose de la littérature française, il est aussi le premier à rapprocher le héros de la figure de l’auteur et à concevoir le récit à la fois comme une entité autonome et comme le point central de cycles romanesques plus vastes consacrés au Graal. Il donne à la chevalerie bretonne une mission nouvelle, la quête de ce vase sacré, symbole de rédemption. Il innove également en proposant une lecture cohérente du personnage de Merlin, fils du diable sauvé par Dieu, puissant devin et magicien, conseiller des princes et prophète du Graal. Parmi la cinquantaine de manuscrits conservant ce texte, le ms. A’-BnF 24394 était resté inédit jusqu’à présent. Éditée et traduite ici pour la premi ère fois, cette copie remarquable permet de mieux mesurer les multiples richesses recélées par ce roman fondateur.

Erec is the earliest extant German Arthurian romance, freely adapted and translated into Middle High German by the Swabian knight, Hartmann von Aue, from the first Old French Arthurian romance, Chrétien de Troyes' Erec et Enide. Hartmann's work dates from c. 1180, but the only (almost) complete manuscript dates from the early sixteenth century, copied into the huge two-volume Ambraser Heldenbuch, now housed in Vienna - the most comprehensive extant compilation of medieval German romances and epics, commissioned by Emperor Maximilian I. Otherwise, only a few earlier medieval fragments survive. Erec tells the story of a young knight at King Arthur's court, whose early prowess wins him high repute, and a beautiful wife, Enite. He falls into disrepute because of his excessively zealous devotion of his time to her. Alerted to his notoriety, he embarks on a series of symbolic adventures, which eventually lead to his achieving a new balance between the claims of love and those of society. Far more than a simple translation, Hartmann's first attempt at an Arthurian romance is notable for its zest and gusto. This is the first edition with a parallel text translation into English; it is presented with explanatory notes and variant readings. Cyril Edwards is a Senior Research Fellow of Oxford University's Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages, and an Honorary Research Fellow of University College London.

"Explores the blurring of boundaries between genres (skaldic and eddic), periods (Viking Age, medieval, early modern) and cultures (Icelandic, Scandinavian, English, continental) in Old Norse-Icelandic poetry"-- "Eddic, Skaldic, and Beyond shines light on traditional divisions of Old Norse-Icelandic poetry and awakens the reader to work that blurs these boundaries. Many of the texts and topics taken up in these enlightening essays have been difficult to categorize and have consequently been overlooked or undervalued. The boundaries between genres (Eddic and Skaldic), periods (Viking Age, medieval, early modern), or cultures (Icelandic, Scandinavian, English, Continental) may not have been as sharp in the eyes and ears of contemporary authors and audiences as they are in our own. When questions of classification are allowed to fade into the background, at least temporarily, the poetry can be appreciated on its own terms. Some of the essays in this collection present new material, while others challenge long-held assumptions. They reflect the idea that poetry with "medieval" characteristics continued to be produced in Iceland well past the fifteenth century, and even beyond the Protestant Reformation in Iceland (1550). This superb volume, rich in up-to-date scholarship, makes little-known material accessible to a wide audience"--

"Iwein" de Hartmann von Aue, adaptation du "Chevalier au Lion" de Chrétien de Troyes. A la fin du XIIe siècle, Hartmann von Aue, un clerc allemand originaire de Souabe, adapte Yvain ou le Chevalier au Lion de Chrétien de Troyes. Iwein constitue sans nul doute l'œuvre la plus aboutie et la plus fascinante de Hartmann. L'adaptateur y reprend les aventures autour desquelles s'organise le roman français : la fontaine merveilleuse, la conquête d'une reine et d'un pays, la folie d'Iwein, l'aide apportée aux chevaliers prisonniers du géant Harpin ou aux trois cents captives d'un château, le combat contre Gawein. Toutefois, Hartmann ne se contente pas d'adapter le roman de Chrétien à la langue allemande, il réinterprète sa source et transforme en profondeur les motivations des personnages et le sens des aventures. Ce qui prime chez Hartmann n'est plus le rapport entre fin' amor et prouesse mais le rôle de la chevalerie et l'idéal du miles christianus. Pour la première fois, ce roman allemand est traduit en français moderne.
