Abstract

gregorius is a complex poem from the middle ages, written in an original and new poetic idiom which reveals many unique characteristics of the period. The theme that seems most significant, and which will be discussed in this essay, is one that would engage both a lay audience, and the socially dominant members of society: the concept of social stability. This theme will be explored in the context of meanings for the audience of the period, and as a theme found in the classical poetic traditions that would form the background for the poem.The poem gregorius was written by Hartmann von Aue sometime between 1187 and 1195 (Buehne in Hartmann, 1966). Little is known about Hartmann's life, except that he was probably born between 1160 and 1170, and probably died "before 1210 and not after 1220" (Buehne in Hartmann: 17). He was probably also Swiss, and his poetry was part of a poetic movement that included Heinrich von Veldecke, Gottfried von Strassburg, Wolfram von Eschenbach, Albrecht von Halberstadt, and Walther von der Vogelweide (Zott, 2003). This poetic movement was marked by a new naturalism, and a lively and expressive use of language (Zott, 2003, Buehne in Hartmann, 1966, Adolf in Hartmann, 1966).
