Summary/Abstract: The book summarises the basic principles as well as main tendencies within the medieval lyric genre Minnesang – both in its German version, investigating its individual evolutionary phases, and in later appearing old Czech love poetry of high Middle ages. Moreover, the author of this comparative study Sylvie Stanovská applies her findings to younger German love poetry before 1500 as well so she gains a broad analytical basis, pursuant to which she constructs a novel, with numerous text examples supported typology of the old Czech love poetry. This typology can thus lead to further research of this genre.
