Kleinepik, Tierepik, Allegorie und Wissensliteratur
[The Short Epic, Animal Epic, Allegory, and Knowledge Lore]
Ed. by Knapp, Fritz Peter
Aims and Scope
GLMF VI examines the French influence on Middle High German and Middle Dutch literature in genres whose common feature is their instructive intent. Whereas a connection to the Romance model is readily discernable in animal epics (Part B) and allegorical works (Part C), some of the small epic fables and fairy tales (Part A) were transmitted orally and reformulated many times, which makes it difficult to capture their specific indebtedness to French antecedents.
