The Minnesang , or courtly love-song, is the most important type of medieval German lyric. The texts in this handbook portray the Minnesang in great depth, discussing their authors, subjects, semantics, and various research questions. At the same time, this book situates the history of German Minnesang in the context of European love poetry.
