This book offers a detailed and critical analysis of how this myth emerged and developed in medieval German and Dutch literatures, bringing to light the vast array of narratives either idealizing, if not glorifying, Charlemagne as a political and religious leader, or, at times, criticizing or even ridiculing him as a pompous and ineffectual ruler. The motif is traced from its earliest origins in chronicles, in the Kaiserchronik, through the Rolandslied and Der Stricker's Karl der Gro e, to his recasting as a saint in the Z?cher Buch vom Heiligen Karl.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Albrecht Classen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1843845830\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781843845836\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Boydell \u0026amp; Brewer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Albrecht Classen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44126896619775,"sku":"9781843845836","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_577adf19-fbba-4db6-b7d2-b640e0701d9f.jpg?v=1687450750","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/charlemagne-in-medieval-german-and-albrecht-classen-9781843845836","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
