Lyrische Werke

In Lyric Poetry (GLMF III), the influence of Romance literature on Middle High German and Middle Dutch lyric poetry particularly the Minnesang , from its beginnings to the 14th century is demonstrated in chronologically ordered chapters. In addition, the book compiles for the first time all the scattered research from monographs and other sources to provide a general overview of the impact of Old Occitan and Old French lyric poetry. Aside from discussing the reception of content and form, the work also takes into account the role of music and the often overlooked Sangspruchdichtung .
