Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a wide-ranging study of medieval German debate poems, a popular form of verse in which personified objects or ideas argue their superiority. The author traces the origins of this genre back to classical antiquity, particularly to a debate between Summer and Winter in Greek literature. The book examines how this theme developed through Latin Christian poetry, where debates often focused on ecclesiastical doctrine or morality, before reaching a peak of popularity in German literature during the Middle Ages. The book explores different types of debate poems, including those that argue the merits of different seasons, animals, objects, and even abstract concepts like love and money. It also discusses poems that depict contests between singers and debates between learned men on theological and philosophical topics. Ultimately, this book provides a comprehensive overview of a fascinating and understudied genre, shedding light on the intellectual and cultural life of the Middle Ages.
