Description

Never published in verse form before, these translations of some of the earliest known German poetry give us a rich glimpse of a life that, while alien in so many ways, was not so different after all.

The Minnesang poets, for example, engage in a highly professional ritual, but compose in cognitive metaphors that still ring true: love is a trap; love is a game; love is war.

A beautiful, lyrical journey through the passions and fears of pre-Medieval German life, told by some of its finest poetic voices.
