Ironie, Polemik und Provokation

This work explores varying concepts of irony in Arthurian romance. It looks at the places where irony is linked to other forms of improper speech and criticism, is transformed into polemic or serves to provoke, and where it suggests a social function of literature. The volume thus casts new light on medieval narrative as well as on the modern literary phenomenon of irony.
