New Methodologies and Old Texts/Méthodologies nouvelles et textes anciens. Edited by Alexander Schwarz.

A collection of eleven papers (one of them in French), by American, Canadian and Swiss scholars on semiotic, pragmatic, post-structuralist, psychoanalytic, feminist and new historicist ways to read texts including "Parzival", "Sir Launfal", "Le Roman de la Rose", as well as poems by Guillaume d'Aquitaine or Oswald von Wolkenstein. The main thesis of the collection is that, since medieval culture and its modes of textual understanding are somewhat inaccessible to modernity, methodological explicity is of even greater importance when engaging with such texts. 181 Seiten, broschiert (Tausch.
