		The disturbing and disintegrating element in the literature of the 13th century was thus the substitution of a utilitarian.didacticism for the idealism of chivalry.
		The German novel of the 17th century was, as has been already indicated, less hampered by Renaissance laws than other forms of literature, and although it was none the less at the mercy of foreign influence, that influence was more varied and manifold in its character.
		The literature of the middle of the century was not wanting in achievement, but there was nothing buoyant or youthful about it; most significant of all, the generation between 1848 and 1880 was either oblivious or indifferent to the good work and to the new and germinating ideas which it produced.

		Medieval authors were often overawed by the classical writers and the Church Fathers and tended to re-tell and embellish stories they had heard or read rather than invent new stories.

		The actual facts of medieval literacy were more complex, but it is certainly accurate as a generalization to say that the average lay person, even if of high social standing, could not read.

	A. Classen: The German Middle Ages
		Most literary scholars and critics consider medieval texts to be utterly extraneous to their own interests, as at best irrelevant, at worst inconsequential; and they perceive the field itself as a site of pedantry and antiquarianism, a place to escape from the demands of modern intellectual life" (87).
		The significance of medieval German and, for that matter, any other literature even in the twentieth and probably also twenty-first century can be demonstrated if we draw on reception theory primarily developed by Hans Georg Gadamer and Hans Robert Jauss (Holub).

		The eighteenth century was arguably the first period in German history that allowed for the construction of a homosexual identity, a period that came to an end in the first decade of the nineteenth century, when the conservative, romantic, and nationalistic backlash (re-)instituted a monogamous and heterosexual family morality.
		The only direct allusions to homosexuality in medieval German literature are negative in nature and occur in didactic, critical, and humorous works.
		Her husband's demand may well amount to the only suggestion of a homosexual scene in medieval German literature: He plans to enjoy every imaginable embrace with her/him, and to perform "that which men do with their women when they lie with them at night."

		Old English, in a sense, was born a “dead language.” Indeed, the philological nationalism that established its study depended upon the reliquary status of this language and the “nostalgia” of its poetry.
		We will focus on the mnemonics of nation and empire in Old English literature, the performance of this literature in academic and imperial history, and the limits that linguistic “death” poses to poststructuralist and postcolonial interrogations of that history.

	Fear, Anger, and Power: Women in Medieval German Literature
		William Eckhorst claims that “although rife with terror and sorrow, the literary compositions of the Middle Ages, the epics, chapbooks, fairy tales, and folksongs, lack characters with chronic fear complexes” (148).
		Although both the male and female characters of medieval German epic and romance are by and large a pretty fearless crew, the adventures they encounter can be quite hair-raising.
		Be that as it may, both the fearful and the angry women of literature are empowered by the strength of their emotions, and the deeds born of this power are certainly reflected all over medieval German literature.
