Hug Schapler-†berlieferung und Stilwandel. Ein Beitrag zum FrŸhneuhochdeutschen
Prosaroman und zur Lexikalischen Paarform. Von Peter Bichsel. ZŸrcher Germanistische
Studien, 53. Bern: Peter Lang, 1999. Pp. 384. $54.95.
In his study of Hug Schapler, Elisabeth von Nassau-SaarbrŸcken's 1436 German
prose translation of a fourteenth-century French chanson de geste, Peter Bichsel
painstakingly examines the development and transmission of literary prose from
the fifteenth century into the nineteenth century. He chooses Hug Schapler because
it has a rich printing history and is, according to Bichsel, representative of
VolksbŸcher.
