The Fuss about Fiction: A View from Medieval German Studies
In this response, I offer a perspective on the topic of fictionality from the point of view of medieval German studies, where discussions of what constitutes fiction in medieval literature have been of special interest to scholars since the early 1980s. My own addition to this debate is inspired by discussions among German scholars about the problematic authorship of mystical revelations and devotional literature. That is to say, while these disc…
Women Teaching Men in the Medieval Devotional Imagination
Partners in Spirit focuses on relations between chaste men and women within religious life in Germany (c. 1100-1500), concentrating on the complex set of negotiations that governed contact between a male priest and his female charge. Although religious women were undeniably reliant on priests for pastoral care (the cura monialium) throughout the medieval period, it does not follow that men saw such care as burdensome or that women were spirituall…
Why Surface Reading Is Not Enough: Morolf, the Skin of the Jew, and German Medieval Studies
This essay makes a case for the continued necessity and usefulness of so-called “symptomatic reading” within the context of German medieval studies. To demonstrate this necessity, the essay focuses on a short episode at the beginning of the medieval German minstrel epic Salman und Morolf in which Morolf, brother of Salman, the Christian king of Jerusalem, disguises himself in the skin of a murdered Jew in order to retrieve Salman’s wife Salme, wh…

Light Sorrow: Siegfried Kracauer as Literary Critic
To study a well-known author within a lesser-known discipline is not to diminish his accomplishments or stature. Historians of modem thought are well aware that Siegfried Kracauer was first an architect, then a sociologist, ajournalist, and a novelist, and finally a historian and a theorist of film and historiography. But are we thus obligated to maintain that he approached his Sociology as Science scientifically, his novels literarily, The White…
