Wandlungen und Neuansätze im 13. Jahrhundert

This sub-volume traces a development that began in the 1220s when Wolfram and Walter, the last authors of the "golden age" of Middle High German literature died until around 1280/90. During this period, the old genres shifted, leading to the emergence of important new ones: legal prose, historiographical prose, religious dramas, and epic-didactic forms of verse.
