Book Description
ABSTRACT (cont.): The third chapter, "Parzival's Continuing Themes," is a continuation of the thesis presented in the second chapter. It continues the work begun in Chapter 2 and shows Wolfram's return to his critical agenda in another work: Titurel, which was written much later than Parzival. I discuss the many connections to the themes Wolfram presents in Parzival in this shorter, fragmentary narrative. Based on my reading, I present an alternate view of Wolfram's motivation to write Titurel and show new ties to the older Parzival. The final chapter is "Utopisches Wunschbild." In this concluding chapter, I argue against the idea that Minnedienst is an exclusively literary convention, that presents only an idealized image of the reality in which Wolfram and his audience lived. Based on literary and historical evidence, I show that Wolfram's criticism of Minnedienst is also a kind of social criticism.
