<div><b>A study of beard motifs in medieval German poetry.</b><br>  <br> Beards make frequent appearances in medieval German poetry—as esteemed markers of majestic wisdom or as hilarious props for undignified manhandling. In <i>Beards and Texts</i>, Sebastian Coxon traces this preeminent symbol of masculinity through four major poetic traditions across the twelfth and sixteenth centuries—Pfaffe Konrad’s <i>Rolandslied</i>, Wolfram von Eschenbach’s <i>Willehalm</i>, ‘Sangspruchdichtung’, and Heinrich Wittenwiler’s <i>Ring</i>. By attending to this hairy trope,<i> Beards and Texts</i> sheds new light on the construction of both poetic form and masculinity in the Middle Ages.<br>  </div>
