Abstract | While in recent years a considerable body of work on medieval Germany has been published in English, much of it has centered on the 10th and 11th century. The 12th and 13th centuries, by contrast, have received relatively little attention. This session seeks to help remedy that situation. It also aims to draw attention to the profound changes in German scholarship over the last twenty years. There is, in fact, little correlation between the image of Staufen Germany as it can be gleaned from many of the materials available in English, and our current scholarly understanding of the period. |
