Abstract
Hartmann von Aue’s twelfth-century Der arme Heinrich was the subject of a nineteenthcentury Volksbuch tradition inspired by the nationally focused medievalism of Jacob and
Wilhelm Grimm. The Volksbücher adaptations published by Gustav Schwab, Karl
Simrock, and Gotthard Oswald Marbach responded to and criticized one another through
text and image, focusing their activity on the figure of a naked teenager, watched covertly by
her future husband. In 1846, Dante Gabriel Rossetti translated Marbach’s text into English.
This article examines how the same gender politics which were employed for nationalist
purposes in a German setting become an end in themselves in English translation
