I'm not too sure about these place names I've given for his birth - is Eschenbach called something else now? And is Aschbach actually a place? I'm working from notes I made, and I can't quite make out my handwriting... --Camembert
Thanks for the clarification/correction, both. --Camembert
I don't consider this classification appropriate. There is little more to say on the biographical front that is not mere speculation; further info on the individual works belongs on their own pages. Under References, I have added the only general book about Wolfram in English. I suppose there is some scope for general remarks about Wolfram's language. But I can't see what else this article needs. --Pfold 12:18, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
I fact tagged in "Life", specifically bcz of the last sent
Even "not without problems" deserves a ref, bcz it insinuates the change in boundaries is problematic. Maybe it is, but there may well be a sense of Bayrischkeit that cut deeper then than the petty machinations of the multitude of German princes of this time. I thot of the boundary of Bavaria as being like that of Kansas until my poor-mouthing about how weak my German is elicited from the butcher (i'm translating) "Yeah, me too: I only speak Bayrisch." If a recognized expert says it's a problem, so be it; until then, what's there is OR.

We carried on a bit of a debate in the edit summaries, and perhaps it is my fault that it did not get more clearly documented, by originally appearing here.
I wouldn't mind being called pedantic for advocating this distinction in general in an encyclopedia (as i am prepared to do). But this instance of "unneeded" pedanticism is actually drastically needed: the record on Wolfram available to scholars is that copies of a handful of poetic works were attributed to him by copyists who may not have been born before his death, a grossly different situation from anyone for whom we have any hope of knowing the relationship between their opinions and those they attributed to their corresponding narrators. In fact, if our other impressions of him rest on the champion of an opinionated and vehemently enforced aesthetic (Wagner's invention in Tannhäuser) -- as IMO those of most of the readers who recognize him are likely to -- we are likely to take "expresses" quite literally, despite that lacking any basis.

The article states:
" the Catholic Encyclopedia observes: "Wolfram in his Parzival tells us explicitly that he could neither read nor write. His poems were written down from dictation"
Didn't he take dictation for Walther, who was illiterate? Or did I confuse the two? 79.106.203.92 (talk) 09:00, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
