Abstract
Abstract: Edited by Julia Frick and Coralie Rippl, this slim volume, titled Dynamics of Literary Form in the Middle Ages, emanated from a research colloquium in October 2019, organized by Susanne Köbele in Frauenwörth/Chiemsee, Germany. Through the essays in this volume, the scholars attempt to demonstrate how concepts of form and content create dynamic textual formations that can be examined according to discursive, generic, and poetic/rhetorical principles in historical contexts. Is form a phenomenon of the aesthetics of production or aesthetics of reception? While the title sounds general and encompassing, the book specializes primarily in the rich thirteenth-century Middle High German literature. The six essays are grouped under five thematic aspects. The brief preface of the volume does not provide a summary of the essays.
