    Imagination and fantasy in the Middle Ages and Early Modern time: projections, dreams, monsters, and illusions.Albrecht Classen (ed.) - 2020 - Boston: Walter de Gruyter.
    The notions of other peoples, cultures, and natural conditions have always been determined by the epistemology of imagination and fantasy, providing much freedom and creativity, and yet have also created much fear, anxiety, and horror. In this regard, the pre-modern world demonstrates striking parallels with our own insofar as the projections of alterity might be different by degrees, but they are fundamentally the same by content. Dreams, illusions, projections, concepts, hopes, utopias/dystopias, desires, and emotional attachments are as specific and impactful (...)

    The struggle against fear as a struggle for the self in konrad von Wurzburg's Partonopier und meliur.Albrecht Classen - 2004 - Mediaevalia 25 (2):225-252.
    Magic appears frequently in medieval narrative, offering both danger and opportunity to the individual. The link between magic and fear is one of the most intriguing aspects of courtly romance, and this phenomenon is extremely well-developed in Konrad von Wiirzburg's Partonopier und Meliur. Konrad displays remarkable skill in developing the psychological aspects of his protagonists, and this paper demonstrates that the process of personal growth for the hero of this text is reflected in multiple manifestations of fear Partonopier is initially (...)
