This volume presents a collection of works by the eminent Middle High German poet Hartmann von Aue, edited by Th. Lider. Included are "Die Klage" (The Lament), "B chlein", "Gregorius", and "Der Arme Heinrich" (Poor Henry). Hartmann von Aue, a key figure in the development of the German romance, is celebrated for his sophisticated narrative style and exploration of ethical and religious themes. These works offer valuable insight into the literary and cultural landscape of the medieval period.
"Gregorius" tells the story of a man who unknowingly marries his mother, exploring themes of sin, penance, and redemption. "Der Arme Heinrich" recounts the tale of a knight afflicted with leprosy who can only be cured by the sacrifice of a virgin's heart, delving into themes of suffering, faith, and selflessness. This edition provides a critical resource for scholars and students of medieval German literature, offering access to some of Hartmann von Aue's most significant contributions to the genre.
