Description: "The high aesthetic appeal of Gottfried of Strasbourg's Tristan is due to the diverse relationships of repetition and variation with which this medieval romance is organized on various levels and which create a unique sense of poetic beauty and density. The monograph shows how the impulses of perception, assessment and understanding emanating from these repetitions and variations help delineate the contours of the narrated world, stylize the poetry itself and enable a reflection on the relationship of life and literature."--Publisher's website.
