  • WAGNER and the VOLSUNGS None of Wagner’S Works Is More Closely Linked with Old Norse, and More Especially Old Icelandic, Culture
    WAGNER AND THE VOLSUNGS None of Wagner’s works is more closely linked with Old Norse, and more especially Old Icelandic, culture. It would be carrying coals to Newcastle if I tried to go further into the significance of the incom- parable eddic poems. I will just mention that on my first visit to Iceland I was allowed to gaze on the actual manuscript, even to leaf through it . It is worth noting that Richard Wagner possessed in his library the same Icelandic–German dictionary that is still used today. His copy bears clear signs of use. This also bears witness to his search for the meaning and essence of the genuinely mythical, its very foundation.

  • Occidental Regionalism in the Nibelungenlied: Medieval Paradigms of Foreignness
    OCCIDENTAL REGIONALISM IN THE NIBELUNGENLIED: MEDIEVAL PARADIGMS OF FOREIGNNESS BY SHAWN ROBIN BOYD DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in German in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2010 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor C. Stephen Jaeger, Chair Professor Marianne Kalinke Associate Professor Frederick Schwink Associate Professor Laurie Johnson Associate Professor Carol Symes ii ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the issue of foreignness in the Nibelungenlied, raising questions about the nature, and crossing, of intra-Christian borders within the text that separate customs, practices, and worldviews. It analyzes cultural alterity and its attendant outcomes in the first half of the Nibelungenlied using concepts from anthropology and cultural and sociological theory. The dissertation argues that multiple levels of foreignness, as defined by the philosopher Bernd Waldenfels, separate characters in the Nibelungenlied. Despite their varying origins, these instances of alienation all have a common result: a lack of a complete picture of the world for individual characters and the prevention of close human connections that would allow intentions and motivations to be divined. Characters’ imperfect understandings of their surroundings are fostered by their foreignness and drive many of the conflicts in the text, including Siegfried’s verbal clash with the Burgundians when he first arrives in Worms, Brünhild’s entanglement with Gunther and Siegfried, and the argument between Kriemhild and Brünhild. In addition, this dissertation argues that the constant interaction with the foreign undergone by the court at Worms leads to a change in its culture away from one which sees appearance and reality as one and the same to one that takes advantage of the power granted by a newfound ability to separate Sein from Schein.

  • Between Heroic Epic and Courtly Romance Blending Genres In
    1 Between Heroic Epic and Courtly Romance Blending Genres in Middle High German and Middle English Literature MA Thesis Literary Studies, English Track Student name: Kjeld Heuker of Hoek Student number: s2093588 Date: 01-06-2018 First reader: Dr. M.H. Porck Second reader: J.M. Müller Ph.D. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Introduction 1 2. Historical and Theoretical background 5 3. Das Nibelungenlied 18 4. Tristan 28 5. Havelok the Dane 39 6. Conclusion 47 7. Works cited 50 1 INTRODUCTION When the eponymous hero of Gottfried von Straßburg’s Tristan rides out to meet his enemy, duke Morgan, he hides his and his men’s weapons and armour. The parley between Morgan and Tristan is cut brutally short when Tristan draws his sword without warning and kills Morgan by piercing his skull. This foul unchivalric blow might make the reader believe that he is reading one of the Middle High German heroic epics that regale their reader with stories of large-scale battles, backstabbing traitors and tragic last stands. Yet Gottfried’s Tristan is not commonly regarded as an epic, but one of the more revolutionary courtly romances of the High Middle Ages. It is a romance that deals primarily with the transcendental power of love. This example shows that lines separating the two major secular literary genres of the High Middle Ages are not very clearly drawn. The dominant secular aristocratic literary genre during the Early Middle Ages was the heroic epic. This genre described the adventures of heroic heroes and followed the values and ethos of the aristocratic audience.

  • Ludwig Tieck
    Ludwig Tieck Gemälde von Robert Schneider Ludwig Tieck (* 31.5.1773 in Berlin – † 28. 4. 1853 in Berlin), einer der bedeutendsten Schriftsteller und Dichter der Romantik, Sohn des Seilermeisters Johann Ludwig Tieck und seiner Frau Anna Sophie, besuchte 1782 bis 1792 das Friedrichswerdersche Gymnasium, wo er sich mit Wilhelm Heinrich Wackenroder befreundete. Zwischen 1792 und 94 studierte er an den Universitäten Halle, Göttingen und Erlangen. Tiecks romantisches Gemüt war psychischen Schwankungen ausgesetzt – auf eine Erweckungserfahrung von 1792 folgten Zustände psychischer Bedrohtheit („Wahnsinn“). Neben der Beschäftigung mit dem Werk Shakespeares widmete er sich philologischen und kunsthistorischen Studien und wandte sich, unter dem Einfluss Wilhelm Heinrich Wackenroders, der „altdeutschen“ Zeit zu. Seit 1794 freier Schriftsteller in Berlin, 1795/96 erschienen die beiden Romane „William Lovell“ und „Peter Lebrecht“, 1797 und 1799 die von Wackenroder verfassten, aber von Tieck bereicherten programmatischen Schriften „Herzensergießungen eines kunstliebenden Klosterbruders“ und die „Phantasien über die Kunst“, die einer im Religiösen gegründeten, letztlich unbegreifbaren Kunst das Wort redeten, deren höchste Ausprägung nicht von ungefähr die Musik ist. Aus ihr leiten sich auch die beiden Tendenzen von Tiecks späterer Schriftstellerei ab: der Hang zum Wunderbaren und zum historischen Sujet. Dass in diese hehre Kunstwelt aber auch das Schauerliche und das Parodistische Einlass fanden, zeigen die Märchennovelle „Der blonde Eckbert“ (1797), in der Wahn und Wirklichkeit sich unauslotbar verschränken, und das Schauspiel „Der gestiefelte Kater“ (1797), ein satirisch-märchenhaftes Spiel auf verschiedenen Ebenen, das oft als Inbegriff der „romantischen Ironie“ gedeutet wurde. Der Künstler-Roman „Franz Sternbalds Wanderungen“ (1798) versucht altdeutsche und italienische Kunstideale auszusöhnen; typisch romantisch erscheint das geradezu auf Eichendorff voraus weisende Arsenal von Naturbildern und synästhetischen Kunstmitteln.

  • The Nibelungenlied at the Court of Burgundy, Kriemhild, the Virginal
    The Nibelungenlied At the court of Burgundy, Kriemhild, the virginal sister of King Gunther and his brothers Gernot and Giselher, has a dream of a falcon that is killed by two eagles. Her mother interprets this to mean that Kriemhild’s future husband will die a violent death, and Kriemhild consequently resolves to remain unmarried. Siegfried is the crown prince of Xanten. In an introductory narrative, he slays a dragon and bathes in its blood, rendering his skin sword-proof, save one small spot which the dragon’s blood didn’t cover; he also obtains a large treasure, after killing two brothers who had drawn him into the struggle over how to divide the wealth between themselves. Siegfried arrives in Worms with the hopes of wooing Kriemhild. Upon his arrival, Hagen tells Gunther about Siegfried’s youthful exploits that involved winning a treasure and lands from a pair of brothers, Nibelung and Schilbung, whom Siegfried had killed when he was unable to divide the treasure between them and, almost incidentally, the killing of a dragon. After killing the dragon, he had bathed in its blood rendering him invulnerable. Unfortunately for Siegfried a leaf fell onto his back from a linden tree as he was bathing and the tiny patch of skin that it covered did not come into contact with the dragon’s blood, so that Siegfried remains vulnerable in that one spot. In spite of Hagen’s threatening stories about his youth, the Burgundians welcome him, but do not allow him to meet the princess. Disappointed, he nonetheless remains in Worms and helps Gunther defeat the invading Saxons.

The article suggests that in the Nibelungenlied the two groups of women represent the Church and the men the Empire. The group of traditional women represents the Church before the breakout of the historical conflict with the Empire while the group of rebellious women represents the Church in the period of advanced conflict. Keywords: Das Nibelungenlied, Women, Politics, Representation, Church, Empire.
