The Jewish-Christian Encounter in Medieval Preaching
This book explores the complexity of preaching as a phenomenon in the medieval Jewish-Christian encounter. This was not only an "encounter" as physical meeting or confrontation (such as the forced attendance of Jews at Christian sermons that took place across Europe), but also an "imaginary" or theological encounter in which Jews remained a figure from a distant constructed time and place who served only to underline and verify Christian teachings. Contributors also explore the Jewish response to Christian anti-Jewish preaching in their own preaching and religious instruction.

Grundstrukturen mittelalterlicher Erzählungen
Raum- und Zeitstrukturen sind zentrale Gestaltungselemente mittelalterlicher Erzählungen, insbesondere der großen höfischen Romane. Dieses Buch führt auf der Basis moderner narratologischer Theorien in die Poetik epischer Texte des Mittelalters ein und bietet damit Grundlagen für die selbständige Analyse vormoderner Erzählstrukturen. Die Einführung nimmt ihren Ausgang von Zeit- und Raumtheorien der Antike und des Mittelalters und erläutert u. a. die Konzepte Aristoteles', Platons und Augustinus'. Auf diesem geistesgeschichtlichen Fundament aufbauend, erklärt sie dann die Charakteristika der fiktiven Geographie mittelalterlicher Texte und ihrer stark von den Lehren der Rhetorik und den Topoi der abendländischen Tradition geprägten Landschaftsentwürfe. Mittels der Kategorien ,Raum' und ,Zeit' erschließt diese Einführung auf verständliche Weise zentrale Phänomene und Begriffe der mittelalterlichen Erzählliteratur und eignet sich daher insbesondere für Studenten der mediävistischen Literaturwissenschaft hervorragend als Seminarlektüre oder für das Selbststudium.

Gender Bonds, Gender Binds
While Gender Studies has made its mark on literary studies, much scholarship on the German Middle Ages is largely inaccessible to the Anglo-American audience. With gender at its core as a category of analysis, "Gender Bonds, Gender Binds"uniquely opens up medieval German material to English speakers. Recognizing the impact of Ann Marie Rasmussen’s Mothers and Daughters in Medieval German Literature, this transatlantic volume expands on questions introduced in her 1997 book and subsequent work. More than a mere tribute, the collection moves the debates forward in new directions: it examines how gender bonds together people, practices, texts, and interpretive traditions, while constraining a...
