2021: Special Issue 10: Konrad of Würzburg as a Narrator
Konrad of Würzburg was active in many different literary genres like no other German-speaking author of the 13th century. This special issue is the first to systematically examine Konrad's profile as a narrator and looks at his oeuvre from the perspective of recent narratological studies and findings. This includes the much-discussed problems surrounding the possibilities of distinguishing between author and narrator or between fictionality and factuality, as well as the fundamental question of what constitutes narrative in general and specifically in the European Middle Ages. With their case studies on the work of Konrad of Würzburg, the articles in this special issue aim to offer ideas and impulses for further discussion.
