Description:... This study takes a look at the German Tristan stories appearing after the Tristant of Eilhart von Oberge and the Tristan of Gottfried von Strassburg, focusing on the main representatives of the genre from 1235 to 1553. It aims to stimulate a rethinking of the standards by which we measure the achievement of the German Tristan poets who wrote from the 13th century onward.
