| Description | This article introduces the twofold renascence of medieval songs and legends, as medieval texts discovered and published in the course of the eighteenth century and the texts as reiterated by Julius Zeyer. The article attempts to resolve three basic questions: 1) Why did Julius Zeyer decide to rephrase the texts instead of translating them?; 2) What is the original and innovative contribution of Julius Zeyer?; 3) Why was Julius Zeyer so influenced by medieval compositions? |
