The lecture focuses on the characteristics of literary monuments of the High and Late Middle Ages, with the main focus on courtly literature 1150-1250. Using the examples of heroic epic, courtly novel and the so called Minnesang, the initial parameters necessary for the understanding of medieval literary practice are illuminated, such as: forms of tradition (oral tradition and the transition to written text), mediality (from manuscripts to prints), intertextuality, cultural transfer, genealogy, conditions of literary communication, the role of ritual, etc. Later development, e.g. the transition to the prose and shorter literary formations (Maere) are also included.
