Written c.1200 by a Swabian knight, Hartmann von Aue, \u003cem\u003eIwein\u003c\/em\u003e charts the development towards maturity of a young knight who falls into error, neglecting his hard-won wife by devoting himself excessively to chivalric pursuits.\u003cbr\u003e This parallel-text edition, offering the first English translation, is based on one of the two earliest complete manuscripts, Giessen, University Library, no. 97 [\u003cem\u003eIwein B\u003c\/em\u003e], dating from the second quarter of the thirteenth century. It contains a large number of lines, particularly in the later stages of the poem, which are not present in the other early manuscript, A [Heidelberg, cpg 397]. These show a special interest in the woman's side of the story, expanding a passage concerned with embroidery and weaving, and adding a marriage for the maidservant Lunet, whose cunning brings about the reconciliation between Iwein and her mistress, Laudine. The authorship of these passages is uncertain, but they may be Hartmann's own revision of his text. The volume is completed with an introduction, notes and bibliography.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDr CYRIL EDWARDS is Senior Research Fellow of the Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages, University of Oxford.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hartmann Von Aue,Cyril Edwards\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1843840847\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781843840848\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 11\/15\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.37w x 1.47d","brand":"Hartmann Von Aue","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088870256895,"sku":"9781843840848","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6376b660-bf9a-4a6e-aa60-e888df72d368.jpg?v=1769106994","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/german-romance-iii-hartmann-von-aue-9781843840848","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
