Die Faszination von Gewalt
Die vorliegende Studie interpretiert in vier eng miteinander verzahnten Kapiteln die Texte einer der langlebigsten Erzähltraditionen des deutschen Mittelalters und zielt auf eine Neubeschreibung der aventiurehaften Dietrichepik aus rezeptionsästhetischer Perspektive. Dabei gelangt die Arbeit zu neuen Einsichten im Bereich der narrativen Konstanten des Korpus und zeigt, wie der lang anhaltende Erfolg der Texte zu erklären ist. Die Arbeit lässt sich zugleich als Versuch verstehen auszutesten, wie ‚wörtlich‘ man mittelalterliche Schemaliteratur eigentlich lesen darf.

Transformation on the Southern Ukrainian Steppe
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the Russian empire opened the grasslands of southern Ukraine to agricultural settlement. Among the immigrants who arrived were communities of Prussian Mennonites, recruited as “model colonists” to bring progressive agricultural methods to the east. Transformation on the Southern Ukrainian Steppe documents the Tsarist Mennonite experience through the papers of Johann Cornies (1789–1848), an ambitious and energetic leader of the Mennonite colony of Molochna. Cornies was well connected in the imperial government, and his papers offer a window not just into the world of the Molochna Mennonites but also into the Tsarist state’s relationship with the national minorities of the frontier: Mennonites, Doukhbors, Nogai Tartars, and Jews. This selection of his letters and reports, translated into English, is an invaluable resource for scholars of all aspects of life in Tsarist Ukraine and for those interested in Mennonite history.

The Presentation of Authorship in Medieval German Narrative Literature 1220-1290
This book sheds light on the complexity of medieval German literary culture as it evolved in the course of the thirteenth century (c. 1220-1920) by analysing the attitudes of narrative poets towards the issue of authorship. It describes the various ways in which vernacular writers could address the theme of their own authorship within their literary works, and explores the tensions that arose between such authorial strategies on the one hand and their subsequent manuscript transmission on the other.
