Figuren Des Diabolischen: Studien Zur Niederdeutschen Erzählliteratur Des Mittelalters

This is the first study to examine the figuration of the devil and demons in Low German medieval literature. Demonic figures are the protagonists in three traditional genres (novella, example, and legend). At the same time, they served to represent numinous negativity. In a hermeneutic fashion, this work integrates a historical-anthropological question with the approach of discourse analysis.
