This subvolume addresses literature from the resumption of written production in German until the beginnings of courtly literature, i.e., from around 1050/60 to 1160/70. The first part of this epoch was dominated by the religious goal of salvation, while in the second part, new needs were being voiced above all the need to experience the "world" and process it in literature.
