Description
This book presents the earliest West Germanic texts treating the bridal-quest theme - one of the most popular medieval narrative patterns. The author locates the origin of this narrative tradition in the oral and written Germanic literary tradition - a result which leads to a re-assessment of the origins of vernacular German and Scandinavian literature.
