Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the intriguing influence of wandering clerics, known as vagants, on the development of nature imagery in German Minnesang, a genre of courtly love poetry that flourished in the Middle Ages. The author demonstrates how the vagants' Latin poetry, infused with classical and popular elements, introduced new modes of personifying nature and expressing seasonal changes in German lyric verse. These innovations can be traced in the works of notable Minnesingers, enriching the traditional themes of love and longing with vivid depictions of the natural world. Through detailed analysis of poems by Heinrich von Morungen, Walther von der Vogelweide, and Neidhart von Reuenthal, among others, the book reveals the dynamic interplay between learned and popular influences in the evolution of Minnesang. By examining the shared imagery and motifs in vagant and Minnesang poetry, the author uncovers the cultural exchange that shaped the medieval literary landscape. Ultimately, this book provides fresh perspectives on the complex relationship between nature, poetry, and the human experience in the Middle Ages, highlighting the often-overlooked contribution of vagrant clerics to the development of German literature.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive study of the role of the forest in the lives and imaginations of Germanic peoples. The book draws upon a wide range of sources, including archaeological evidence, historical records, and literary texts, to trace the evolution of the forest as a cultural symbol from pre-Christian times to the present day. The author argues that the forest has always held a special significance for Germanic peoples, serving as a source of both sustenance and spiritual connection. In pre-Christian times, the forest was seen as a sacred place, home to the gods and spirits.

The book also explores the ways in which the forest has been represented in German literature and art, from the early medieval epic Beowulf to the Romantic poetry of the 19th century. The author shows how the forest has been used as a setting for stories of adventure, love, and loss, and how it has been used to reflect the changing values and beliefs of German society over time. Ultimately, this book offers a fascinating and thought-provoking exploration of the complex and enduring relationship between Germanic peoples and the forest.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. Dieses Buch untersucht die Entwicklung des Waldesgottes der Germanen und deckt die Verbindung zwischen Wald, Jagd und dem Glaubenssystem auf. Die Arbeit stellt fest, dass Vorstellungen von einem germanischen Waldesgott, wie sie in der populären Literatur und Kultur dargestellt werden, auf einer Fehlinterpretation der Quellen beruhen. Der Autor argumentiert, dass die überlieferten Zeugnisse nur von einer Vielzahl kleinerer Gottheiten sprechen, die mit bestimmten Wäldern, Hainen und Jagdgebieten verbunden waren, nicht aber von einem einzigen, übergeordneten Waldesgott. Anhand zahlreicher Belege aus Mythologie, Literatur und Volksglauben wird die Entwicklung dieser Gottheiten vom Frühmittelalter bis zur Neuzeit nachgezeichnet. Das Buch bietet eine tiefgehende Analyse der Rolle des Waldes in der germanischen Kultur und seiner Bedeutung für das Verständnis der germanischen Religion und Mythologie. Es liefert neue Einsichten in die Naturvorstellungen und den Glauben an das Ãbernatürliche in der germanischen Welt. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
