Bøger af Jerold C. Frakes

Little attention has been focused the representation of Muslims in medieval Germany. Proceeding from a grounded use of contemporary cultural theory and close textual analysis, this study focuses Muslims in several core texts representing drama, epic, and lyric written by the most important writers of medieval Germany.

Jerold C. Frakes approaches the Nibelungenlied, the Klage, and the Kudrun, epic poems central to the Middle High German tradition, through a set of literary, economic, and sociological interpretations, informed by a broad range of contemporary feminist scholarship.
