In his Parzival he claims he is illiterate and recorded the work by dictation, though the claim is treated with scepticism by scholars. ![]() Wolfram's work indicates a number of possible patrons (most reliably Hermann I of Thuringia), which suggests that he served at a number of courts during his life. The arms shown in the Manesse manuscript come from the imagination of a 14th-century artist, drawing on the figure of the Red Knight in Parzival, and have no heraldic connection with Wolfram. However, the evidence is circumstantial and not without problems - there are at least four other places named Eschenbach in present-day Bavaria, and Wolframs-Eschenbach was not part of Bavaria in Wolfram's time. This and a number of geographical references have resulted in the present-day Wolframs-Eschenbach, previously Obereschenbach, near Ansbach in Bavaria, being officially designated as his birthplace. In Parzival he talks of wir Beier ("we Bavarians") and the dialect of his works is East Franconian. There are no historical documents which mention him, and his works are the sole source of evidence. As a Minnesinger, he also wrote lyric poetry. Wolfram von Eschenbach was a German knight and poet, regarded as one of the greatest epic poets of his time. ![]() ![]() She realizes that her eyes are like her mother's, her grandmother's, and her little sister's.

I really struggled to stay focused and engaged with this story and finally decided to stop reading this.Overall this wasn’t nearly as good as “Every Day”. All the different POVs made the story move really slow and I was completely uninterested in what was going on. I still liked reading the parts by 'A' and I still found Rhiannon annoying. While the initial idea behind 'A' was amazing, the story wasn't going anywhere special.This book moves very slowly and jumps between Nathan, 'A', 'X', 'M', and Rhiannon. I read the first 100 pages of this and remembered why I gave the 2nd book in this series such a low rating. I was pretty disappointed in “Another Day” and was hoping this book would do a better job of summing up A’s story. I was excited to get this book from Amazon Vine to review because I absolutely loved “Every Day”. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
