The University of Chicago Press Courtly Love the Love of Courtliness and the
Book SynopsisOne of the great achievements of the Middle Ages, Europe's courtly culture gave the world the tournament, the knighting ceremony, and also courtly love. But courtly love has been ignored by historians of sexuality. This work aims to correct this oversight with an analysis of key courtly texts of the medieval German literary tradition.Trade Review"This is the most important study of courtly love to appear in the last twenty years. Drawing on the rich medieval German literary tradition, this book argues that what moderns think of as sex is, in fact, a historical construct. Showing in detail how the great medieval German texts understood the category of sex, James Schultz adds a considerable chapter to the history of sex, the history of gender, and medieval studies." - Ann Marie Rasmussen, Duke University"

Medieval Institute Publications Sovereignty and Salvation in the Vernacular,
Book SynopsisThese texts will be of interest because they represent a kind of writing - at the intersection of ecclesiastical and secular power, drawing on the whole range of medieval Latin learning, yet written in vernacular verse - that is not found elsewhere in the European Middle Ages. In addition, they may be of use in teaching since, although relatively short, they illustrate a great number of characteristic medieval ways of writing and can be linked to a number of quite remarkable historical figures.Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Foreward Introduction Bibliography Das Ezzolied / Ezzo’s Song Straßburger Ezzolied / Earlier Fragmentary Version Vorauer Ezzolied / Later Expanded Version Das Annolied / Song of Anno Die Kaiserchronik / Chronicle of the Emperors vv. 247-667 Das Lob Salomons / In Praise of Solomon Historia Judith / The Story of Judith Die drei Jünglinge im Feuerofen / The Three Youths in the Furnace Die ältere Judith / The Earlier Story of Judith Notes
