Jahrbuch der Oswald von Wolkenstein-Gesellschaft: Band 19 (2012/2013): Oswald von Wolkenstein im Kontext der Liedkunst seiner Zeit

The Jahrbuch der Oswald von Wolkenstein-Gesellschaft is an annual academic publication dedicated to the study of the medieval poet, composer, and diplomat Oswald von Wolkenstein. Produced by the society that bears his name, this nineteenth volume focuses on the specific context of the German 'Liedkunst'—or art of song—within the late Middle Ages. It serves as a rigorous scholarly resource for medievalists and musicologists interested in the intersection of poetry and music during the 14th and 15th centuries.

Edited by Ingrid Bennewitz, a prominent scholar of German medieval studies, this particular volume emphasizes the cultural and aesthetic landscape that influenced Wolkenstein's work. The collection of essays is designed to situate the composer within the broader traditions of his contemporaries, offering a critical analysis of his compositional techniques and textual choices. Like its predecessors in the long-running series, the volume is respected in academic circles for its contribution to historical musicology and its archival preservation of late-medieval literary traditions.
