Description: Originally presented as the author's thesis (doctoral)--Universiteat Zeurich, 2002.
Review Quotes: «Helmut Dworschak's book, originally a doctoral thesis for the University of Zurich (2002), is an innovative and surprising study of Der Stricker's 'bîspel', no. 105 'Die Milch und die Fliegen' and nos. 153-55 'Säen und Ernten'. [...] This study is remarkable both for the breadth of the contextualization of the two 'bîspel' and for the depth of meaning yielded by the interpretation of the defining images contained within them.» (Elizabeth Andersen, Modern Language Review)
«Il s'agit donc là d'une étude riche et bien menée qui pourrait conduire certains germanistes à reconsidérer l'oeuvre du Stricker sous un angle nouveau.» (P. Del Duca, Études germaniques)
