| Abstract | The session evaluates memory motives and memory strategies in some of Wolfram von Eschenbach's narrative and lyric texts. The first paper focuses on Wolfram's Arthurian and Grail romance, Parzival, examining the construction of memory themes in the diegetic world, with particular reference to the importance of the Parable of the Magpie. The second contribution discusses Wolfram's Titurel, analysing narrative movement in time and methods of auctorial recollection, concentrating on the episode of the dog's leash. The final paper investigates the memory motives in Wolfram's lyric love poetry, specifically with regard to the recollections of the lovers in his dawn-songs. |
