Fantasy novels are products of popular culture. They owe their popularity also to the visualization of medievalist artifacts on book covers and designs, illustrations, maps, and marketing: Castles on towering cliffs, cathedral-like architecture, armored heroes and enchanting fairies, fierce dragons and mages follow mythical archetypes and develop pictorial aesthetics of fantasy, completed by gothic fonts, maps and page layout that refer to medieval manuscripts and chronicles. The contributors to this volume explore the patterns and paradigms of a specific medievalist iconography and book design of fantasy which can be traced from the 19th century to the present.

Is the pícaro, the roguish hero of early modern Spanish adventure fiction, a 'real man'? What position does he hold in the gender hierarchy of his fictional social context? Why is the pícara so 'non-female'? What effect has her gender constitution on her fictional social context? In terms of a gendered subject, the picaresque figure has hardly been analyzed so far. Although scholars have recognized it as a transgressive and subversive model, the 'queer' effect of the figure is yet to be examined. With regard to the categories of class, generation, topography, and gender, the contributions assembled in this volume explore Spanish, French, English, and German novels narratologically from the perspective of culture and gender theories.

Vormoderne Texte erzählen vielfach Geschichten von mächtigen Herrschern und tapferen Kriegern, wobei sie deren Männlichkeit literarisch Gestalt verleihen. Im historischen (Antike, Mittelalter, Neuzeit) und interdisziplinären Vergleich ist festzustellen, dass es sich aber um semantisch sehr unterschiedliche Männlichkeitsentwürfe handelt, die die Erzählungen hervorbringen. 00Diesem pluralen Männlichkeitsverständnis trägt der vorliegende Band Rechnung, indem die einzelnen Beiträge nicht nur die ?klassischen? männlichen Idealtypen (Ritter, Heilige, Hausväter, Gelehrte) fokussieren, sondern auch Abweichungen von der hegemonialen Norm vormoderner Männlichkeit beleuchten. Typische männliche Praktiken und Handlungsmodelle, die gewaltförmig (Kampf, Duell) oder gewaltlos (Wissen, Galanterie, Askese) im Spannungsfeld von Ehre und Schande stehen, werden in den Beiträgen perspektiviert und hinterfragt. Sie lassen das vormoderne Männlichkeitsnarrativ ebenso konstruiert und facettenreich erscheinen wie moderne Maskulinität.
