The medieval court, whether that of a king, prince or bishop, and the monastery are focal points for the production of vernacular literature in the period 800-1500. The studies collected here discuss a wide range of topics, drawing also on Latin literature and the history of art, and present a conspectus of the most influential approaches to the study of medieval literature in German.

Jim Reed has taught German language and literature at the University of Oxford since 1961 and retires on 30 September 2004. This collection of essays in his honour consists of contributions from friends and pupils, and is principally concerned with Goethe, Heine, Nietzsche, Thomas Mann, and Brecht. The themes and approaches represented are those with which Reed himself has engaged in many of his own publications, beginning with Thomas Mann: The Uses of Tradition (1974) and The Classical Centre: Goethe and Weimar (1980), and which is summed up in the title given to his recent collection of essays »Humanpraxis Literatur«.
