About this book

The so-called ‘historical’ Dietrich epics, the thirteenth-century Middle High German heroic epics dealing with Dietrich von Bern (Verona), the corresponding saga of the Ostrogoth king Theoderic the Great, tells of Dietrich’s warring conflicts with his uncle Ermanaric to gain the rule of Northern Italy. The monograph elucidates the text group (the flight epics ‛Dietrich’s Flight’ and ‘The Battle of Ravenna’ and the associated epic ‛The Death of Alphart’) from the perspective of literary history.

Reviews

"Indem die Verf. darauf verzichtet, die Texte auf solche Weise ›gegen den Strich‹ zu lesen, gelingt ihr der Balanceakt zwischen Handbuch und Studie, sodass ihre Untersuchungen der zukünftigen Forschung zugleich Grundlage und Anreiz sind."
Florian Kragl in: Germanistik Redaktion 2011, Band 52, Heft 1-2

"Elisabeth Lienert’s book is an indispensable new resource for the study of medieval German epic and provides a truly comprehensive guide to the subgenre of ‘historical Dietrich-epic’, informed in its details by the author’s own recent well-received editions of the text discussion."
Sarah Bowden in: Medium Aevum LXXX (2011)
