Wolfram Von Eschenbach's Couples

Discussions of Wolfram von Eschenbach's representation of and attitude towards "minne" have generally been concerned with proposing a unified ethical or aesthetic principle under which to subsume various manifestations of love in his works. Research has been devoted particularly to the question of Wolfram's compliance with or rejection of the precepts of courtly love. In support of various arguments a selection of textual evidence has been advanced, frequently mixing expository digression, intertextuality, Wolfram's Selbstaussagen, and information provided by specific characters. The stipulation of unifying purpose and concepts such as courtly love has resulted in a selective and restricted approach to "minne" in Wolfram's works.
