John the Evangelist and Medieval German Writing: Imitating the Inimitable
Volfing, Annette (, University Lecturer in Medieval German, Oxford University, and College Tutor in German, Oriel College, Oxford)
The saint and visionary author John the Evangelist becomes the focus of spiritual and literary discussion in a great range of Middle High German writings, from sermons to verse romance. Examining the extent to which ordinary Christians might imitate him, this important study contributes to both our understanding of German literature and the history of Western spirituality.
