This study examines the intense preoccupation with presenting medial processes evidenced in the love-and-adventure romances Reinfried von Braunschweig and Appolonius von Tyrland . Based on close attention to the emerging discourse on media theory and the narrative potential of medial narrative elements, the author examines how medial form can overcome spatial, temporal, and spherical obstacles between potential communication partners.
