The book features a diverse collection of essays exploring various themes related to memory, identity, and literature across different historical contexts. Contributions include Alois M. Haas's examination of the concept of Unio mystica, and C. Stephen Jaeger's discussion on the role of love in education, particularly in the context of courtly love. Dennis H. Green analyzes irony and fiction in courtly literature, while Herfried Vögel delves into reader memory and narrative strategies in Heinrich von Veldeke's "Eneasroman." Otto Neudeck investigates boundary-crossing as a narrative principle in "Salman und Morolf," and Klaus Speckenbach reflects on identity in Iwein. Other essays explore the destruction of virtual reality, the interplay of entertainment and culture in Gottfried's "Tristan," and the significance of visual art as memorial signs in medieval romances. The collection also touches on early modern etymology, the cultural memory in Lübeck, and the challenges of knowledge codification in the works of Conrad Gesner. Additionally, it discusses emblems, memory issues in opera, and the relationship between image journalism and literature. The essays collectively reflect on the complexities of memory, recognition, and the interplay of various art forms from the early modern period to contemporary literature.
