Die mittelhochdeutschen Werke ›König Rother‹, ›St. Oswald‹, ›Orendel‹, ›Kudrun‹, ›Salman und Morolf‹ und ›Ortnit‹ erzählen alle vom gefahrvollen Werben um die Hand einer schönen Frau. Dabei verbindet sich das narrative Modell der gefährlichen Brautwerbung mit einer interreligiösen Thematik, denn immer gehört die umworbene Frau, ihr Vater oder ein Konkurrent einer anderen Religion als der heiratswillige Protagonist an.Da es sich bei diesen Protagonisten zumeist um Könige oder Königssöhne handelt, verbinden sich mit ihrer Brautwerbung folgerichtig immer Fragen nach Machtgewinn oder -verlust, die im interreligiösen Feld besondere Bedeutung entfalten. In der Durchdringung von narrativem Modell und diskursivem Gehalt werden dabei in jedem Text eigene Möglichkeiten entfaltet, vom christlich Eigenen, dem religiös Anderen und den Verhandlungen und Konfrontationen zwischen beiden zu erzählen.Dabei sind die Brautwerbungserzählungen ihrerseits auf vielfältige Art und Weise in die Verhandlungen kultureller Energien eingebunden, indem sie auf historiographisches, theologisches, politisches und philosophisches Schrifttum Bezug nehmen und die darin entwickelten Positionen und Ideen im literarischen Interdiskurs weiterentwickeln und für den eigenen Erzählzusammenhang fruchtbar machen.

Using archival material and many unpublished sources, this work traces the origins of Oxford and Cambridge University colleges as places of learning, founded from the thirteenth century, for unmarried men who were required to take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, the majority of whom trained for the priesthood. The process reveals how the isolated monk-like existence was gradually transformed from the idea of married Fellows at University Colleges being considered absurd into conside...

This book aims at educating parents generally but divorcing or divorced ones specifically. The instruction is that the future and interest of the children, whatever the cause of their separation (or calculations for the non-divorcing others), should always be the prime mover for whatever arrangement (or decision) they make. That the world would be a better place if people generally look at the larger picture of things; larger picture people usually being better suited to give children, without definitional distinctions/exclusions, a better future than what they themselves have, irrespective of the societies they live in. The book's concern for the future of children also draws from the fact that social work departments, with enormous powers over the making or ruining of children's future, are often staffed by persons with contrary ideals to those these departments stand for. Africa and Canada are specifically examined but its messages apply across the globe; lessons dished out from both perspectives of a parent and a child who has been through it and seen it all and would not want other children/parents to go through similar experiences simply because of funny definitions of family or of child, classifications often exclusively geared toward making readily available resources for educating children unavailable to some children. There also is much apprehension about some parents' blatant use of children for accomplishing their own selfish agendas to the total disregard of the future of said children who, paradoxically, do not even feature in their new un-African and un-Canadian definition of family.
