Erzählte Oratorik: Politische Rede in der deutschsprachigen Literatur des Spätmittelalters
Book information
Description
Medieval German narratives often link the problems associated with sovereignty and social order to the demonstration of rhetorical competence, presenting eloquence as a central condition of successful rule. This volume examines narrative stagings of political oratory using the example of Ulrich’s von Etzenbach Alexander Romance, Ottokar’s von Steiermark Steirischer Reimchronik (Styrian Rhymed Chronicle), and Heinrich Wittenwiler’s Ring.
