The Ennobling Power of Love in the Medieval German Lyric
Stephen J. Kaplowitt
Every handbook of medieval German literature has stressed the importance of love's ennobling power as a motif in the 'Minnesang', yet prior to this volume no study had attempted to assess its significance on the basis of its actual occurrence. In this volume Stephen Kaplowitt scrutinizes the entire lyric production of 'Minnesänger' from Der von Kurenberg to Walther von der Vogelweide, identifying and analyzing every example of the motif. He concludes that, although the motif is widespread, its significance has been considerably exaggerated.
