Guelf. 23.8 Aug. 4° Notes Bibliography IndexReviewsThe study is . . . very much to be greeted. . . . As a whole, it succeeds in pointing out motifs and structures that lend the work coherence as well as showing the relationship between the parts and the whole of the work. GERMANISTIK The critical discussion regarding the German narrative of the Swan Knight, Lohengrin, receives a welcome boost in this fine study by Alastair Matthews. . . . This Camden House volume is beautifully presented . . . . [T]he volume checks virtually anyone's list of desiderata for an excellent guide to an under-discussed medieval work, and would appeal to a broad audience, from undergraduate students of medieval literature or history to advanced academic critics. MONATSHEFTE [Christopher Clason] Matthews's study is ground-breaking in its focus on the conceptual unity of Lohengrin as an aesthetic function of the text, rather than as a reaction to extratextual factors. . . . Matthews provides an attentive and accurate analysis that presents Lohengrin as a carefully laid-out textual, narrative, and compositional whole. MODERN LANGUAGE REVIEW [Sandra Linden] The study is . . . very much to be greeted. . . . As a whole, it succeeds in pointing out motifs and structures that lend the work coherence as well as showing the relationship between the parts and the whole of the work.
