This study examines pictoriality in the late courtly romance. With iconical narration, it provides evidence of a poetic strategy that makes use of the specific dimensions and premodern logic of images, thereby generating action and meaning. The volume thus makes a contribution to historical narrative studies and to research into the visual culture of the Middle Ages within the scope of transdisciplinary image studies.
