Iwein: The Knight with the Lion - Hartmann Von Aue - Hardcover

Few stories were as widely known during the Middle Ages as the account of Iwein and Laudine, which appeared in French, Welsh, English, Norse, Swedish, Danish, Icelandic, and two German variants. The older German version, that by the Swabian nobleman Hartmann von Aue, won instant popularity and became a model of form, style, and language for the many courtly epics which his countrymen composed up to the beginning of the modern period. In recent years, his Iwein has enjoyed a remarkable revival among medieval scholars as traditional interpretations have been challenged by new ones.Hartmann Von Aue is the author of 'Iwein: The Knight with the Lion - Hartmann Von Aue - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780803244047 and ISBN 0803244045.
