Narrheit Und Åsthetik: Erzählen Von Intriganten Narren Im Mittelalter

The narrative art of the Middle Ages produced aesthetically refined and rich text testimony that, for example, love can get off the rails in such a way that it makes the lover a real fool. The role of a fool - imposed by fate or temporarily accepted - serves the protagonists, above all of the Tristan fabric, as a cheat masquerade in adventures that are as piquant as they are scheming. The fact that disguise adventures with foolish protagonists always develop a threatening life of their own is what makes reading the texts of Eilhart von Oberg just as enjoyable as the Gottfried sequel Ulrich von Türheim and Heinrich von Freiberg, or that of various quarrelsome narratives.
