Parzival by Wolfram Von Eschenbach

Parzival by Wolfram Von Eschenbach

Wolfram's Parzival continues to inspire and influence, in modern times works as diverse as Wagner's Parsifal and Lohengrin, Franz Kafka's The Castle, Terry Gilliam's film The Fisher King, and Umberto Eco's Baudolino.

A fine volume with excellent translations and commentariesFor Anglophone readers who wish to know Parzival and the other works, this should become the standard translation. * ARBITRIUM *
Edwards has established a new benchmark for English editions of Wolfram's works, and his volume earns the right to succeed A. Hatto's as the standard. * SPECULUM *
Very well produced.... An important resource for scholars, students and serious aficionados; and publisher and translator are to be much applauded for making this exciting text better known to non-German speakers. * TLS *
Even readers with little or no German will be able to savour more than a whiff of the challenging power of the medieval original. * MODERN LANGUAGE REVIEW *

Cyril Edwards is Lecturer in German, St. Peter's College, Oxford.
