Im Literaturverstaauml;ndnis der alteren Germanistik galt das 12. Jahrhundert fraglos als Epoche des Aufbruchs, wahrend das 13.

Literaturtheoretische und uuuml;berlieferungsgeschichtliche Ansatze der letzten Zeit stellen diese Periodisierung jedoch mehr und mehr in Frage. In Deutschland ist ein spurbarer Aufschwung der Laienkultur kaum vor 1170 zu verzeichnen, und erst im 13. Jahrhundert dringt die Volkssprache nahezu in alle Bereiche der literarischen Kommunikation vor. Diese innovative Schubkraft des...

This study picks up current debates about perspective and meaning in Wolfram von Eschenbach's Willehalm. Adapting Mika Bal's model of narratology, it concentrates on two major complexes - characters and narrator - which it treats as fluid, intersecting entities. The former, uniquely for German narrative genres of the period, emerge as three-dimensional characters whose voices converse with that of a subjective narrator moulded in an era of developing fictionality. The result is a narrative dynamic which represents a vibrant new literary hermeneutic for the vernacular.
