Die Symbolik des Blutes und Der arme Heinrich von Hartmann von Aue explores the rich symbolism of blood within the context of Hartmann von Aue's influential medieval German romance, "Der arme Heinrich." Paulus Cassel delves into the theological and cultural significance of blood as a motif, examining its representation in medieval thought and its impact on the narrative and thematic elements of the story.
Cassel analyzes how blood functions as a symbol of sacrifice, redemption, and healing within the Christian framework of the time. By examining the text through a lens of religious and cultural history, this work offers a deeper understanding of the complex symbolism at play in "Der arme Heinrich" and provides valuable insights into the broader intellectual landscape of the medieval period. This is a valuable resource for students and scholars of medieval literature, theology, and cultural history.
