Dr. Albrecht Classen is one of the leading scholars in Medieval
German literature and family history. He is currently Professor of
German Studies at the University of Arizona. Classen was born near
Bad Hersfeld in Eastern Hesse. He received his Ph.D. from the
University of Virginia in 1986 and he has worked in the universities
of Marburg, Erlangen (Germany), Millersville, PA (USA), Oxford (Great
Britain), Salamanca (Spain), Urbino (Italy), and Charlottesville, VA
(USA). 

Classen has a broad range of research interests covering the history
of German literature and culture from about 800 to 1650. His
publications include a monograph on Oswald von Wolkenstein and his
Italian sources (1987), a post-structuralist interpretation of
Wolfram von Eschenbach’s Titurel (1990), a comparative analysis of
15th-century autobiographical European poetry (Autobiographische
Lyrik, 1991), a monograph on the German Volksbuch (1995), a critical
investigation of late-medieval songbooks (2001), and an extensive
investigation of the communicative community as portrayed in Middle
High German literature (Verzweiflung und Hoffnung, 2002). He also
published translations of Moriz von Craûn (1992), Tristan als Mönch
(1994), Diu Klage (1997), and Mai und Beaflor (2006). In 1999
appeared a book on late-medieval secular German women songs, followed
by a monograph on religious women songs from the same time period
(2002). In 1999, he edited a volume with critical articles, entitled
The Book and the Magic of Reading in the Middle Ages. Most recently,
Prof. Classen published an English translation of Late-Medieval
German Women’s Poetry (2004), a monograph on late-medieval marriage
tracts, sermons, and poetry (Der Liebes- und Ehediskurs vom hohen
Mittelalter bis zum frühen 17. Jahrhundert, 2005), a new book on the
Myth of the Medieval Chastity Belt (2007) and The Power of a Woman's
Voice in Medieval and Early Modern Literature (2007). He also edited
and translated 'Erotic tales of medieval Germany' (2007). His latest
book (forthcoming) is on sixteenth-century humorous tales in Germany.
