Il est inutile d'expliquer ici l'ensemble et les détails de notre classement : la table des matières en rend compte. A l'intérieur de chacune des divisions par nous établies, les travaux de G. Paris sont rangés chronologi- quement. Cette répartition selon la nature des sujets traités nous a semblé préférable à l'ordre purement chronologique; elle comporte pourtant, sans parler de nos erreurs, une part inévitable d'arbitraire : l'index alphabétique placé à la fin du volume y remédiera. Nous avons recueilli, sur l'indication de M. P. Meyer, les articles de la Revue critique signés W et S et quelques os articles signés A (n 287 et 358) et XXX (n° 330). G. Paris a rendu compte dans la Romania d'un grand nombre de publications collectives (voyez les n os 1108- 1193). On ne pouvait songer à classer à sa place logique chacun des innombrables articles de revues qu'il a été ainsi amené à critiquer, parfois en deux ou trois lignes. Nous nous en sommes tenus aux recueils non périodiques de mémoires, auxquels il a consacré de si importants comptes rendus ; encore avons-nous renoncé à relever les recensions les plus sommaires. Nous avons aussi, et pour des motifs VI AVERTISSEMENT analogues, sacrifie les notes nombreuses publiées par G. Pan-, dans la Chronique de la Romania : beaucoup ne sont pas signées, beaucoup sont très brèves. La Table de r la Romania, que publiera bientôt M. le D A. Bos, com- plétera à cet égard notre travail. Nous avons marqué d'un astérisque, pour les distinguer des comptes rendus, les travaux originaux de G. Paris. Nous avons cru devoir mettre aussi l'astérisque à un cer- tain nombre de grands articles, parus presque tous dans le Journal des Savants, et les désigner comme des travaux originaux, bien qu'ils aient été publiés comme des comptes rendus de livres récents. En prenant ce parti, nous n'avons fait que suivre une indication de G. Paris : lorsqu'il publiait ces articles en tirage à part, il les munissait à l'ordinaire d'un titre nouveau, et ce titre ne faisait plus mention de l'ouvrage qui avait servi d'occasion ou de prétexte à son étude (voyez, par exemple, le n° 54). Plusieurs de nos confrères de la Société amicale Gaston Paris nous ont assistés de leurs conseils : nous les en remercions tous, et surtout M. P. Meyer et M. A. Morel- Fatio. M. L. Sainéan nous a donné plusieurs indications fort utiles. Nous avons été obligeamment aidés dans nos recherches à la Bibliothèque nationale par MM. Pillon- Dufresne et Huet, à la Bibliothèque de la Sorbonne par M. Mortet.

  • Nobility in Middle English Romance
    Nobility in Middle English Romance Marianne A. Fisher A dissertation submitted for the degree of PhD Cardiff University 2013 Summary of Thesis: Postgraduate Research Degrees Student ID Number: 0542351 Title: Miss Surname: Fisher First Names: Marianne Alice School: ENCAP Title of Degree: PhD (English Literature) Full Title of Thesis Nobility in Middle English Romance Student ID Number: 0542351 Summary of Thesis Medieval nobility was a compound and fluid concept, the complexity of which is clearly reflected in the Middle English romances. This dissertation examines fourteen short verse romances, grouped by story-type into three categories. They are: type 1: romances of lost heirs (Degaré, Chevelere Assigne, Sir Perceval of Galles, Lybeaus Desconus, and Octavian); type 2: romances about winning a bride (Floris and Blancheflour, The Erle of Tolous, Sir Eglamour of Artois, Sir Degrevant, and the Amis– Belisaunt plot from Amis and Amiloun); type 3: romances of impoverished knights (Amiloun’s story from Amis and Amiloun, Sir Isumbras, Sir Amadace, Sir Cleges, and Sir Launfal). The analysis is based on contextualized close reading, drawing on the theories of Pierre Bourdieu. The results show that Middle English romance has no standard criteria for defining nobility, but draws on the full range on contemporary opinion; understandings of nobility conflict both between and within texts. Ideological consistency is seldom a priority, and the genre apparently serves neither a single socio-political agenda, nor a single socio-political group. The dominant conception of nobility in each romance is determined by the story-type. Romance type 1 presents nobility as inherent in the blood, type 2 emphasizes prowess and force of will, and type 3 concentrates on virtue.

  • Scholars Retelling Romances 'N 15 of ~H Th,­ Ie H I, Phiilipa Hardman
    Scholars Retelling Romances 'n 15 Of ~h th,­ Ie h i, Phiilipa Hardman . ke niversity of Readtng II :0 le It would be a very interesting experiment to ask a group of scholars to write a short account of some striking passage from a medieval romance, which could then be compared with the original. It is my bile belief that a significant proportion of those accounts would be lia, coloured here and there by touches of humour which were not present 'or in the original romance texts, This is a phenomenon which I have frequently noticed in listening to scholarly papers, reading articles and SUS books of criticism; even in preparing my own lectures to students - and it was this last discovery that led me to try to investigate further. Why is it that one finds examples of intrusive humour, whether intentional or involuntary, in the retelling or summarizing of medieval romances by scholars, Gfitics, and other readers, right through from the revival of interest in the romances in the late eighteenth century up to the present day? What is the significance of the fact that appreciative and serious readers of romance can respond to the texts in this way? As a preliminary example, I shall examine three different versions of the story of Arthur's conception and birth. The first comes from Joseph Ritson's pioneering work of scholarship, Ancient Eng/eish Metrical Romoncees,l an edition of twelve Middle English verse romances, prefaced by a lengthy, scholarly dissertation on the function and status of minstrels, and furnished with comparative notes.

I contend that in both texts, fairies become intimately associated with conceptions of the ancient British past, and, more narrowly, with the idea of a specifically insular kingship that seeks its legitimization within that past. In Chapter One, I argue that Map’s longer version of the Herla narrative is his own synthesis of traditional materials, intended to highlight the continuity of a notion of British kingship that includes the pygmy king, Herla and Henry II.

The act of dressing confers narratives of identity upon the wearer. The elite of late- medieval England understood the significance of dress; they utilised rich materials, strong colours and contemporary fashions to express, visually, statements of identity. These attitudes inform the expansive descriptions of rich dress in Middle English romance, in which a wealth of valuable materials, opulent accoutrements and contemporary fashions appear.

It explores corporeal changes of humans transformed into animals, monstrous men, loathly ladies, as well as the transformative effects of death. However, transformations could also alter one’s identity and interior states of being. Transformation in these texts is revealed to affect the body as well as the spirit. This symbiotic relationship between outward body and interior spirit is first demonstrated between two separate persons, and progresses to become localized within the one body and the same soul.

INTRODUCTIOJJ The place of woman in literature has changed with the change in the type of literature. Her importance has increased as the motivating idea of the literature has changed from one of war and epic enterprises to one of chivalry and knightly tournaments. With the development in the importance of woman has come an in- crease in her influence and a more decided characterization. In the earliest English literature ahe is only a figure in the back- ground of the setting; it is not until time and custom have changed the literature that she becomes an active personality in the progression of the story. In taking up this study of woman in epic and romance, I shall firrt show her position in the epic,- .

No part of this thesis has been submitted for any other degree or professional qualification. Signed: Lauren Jessie Chochinov Abstract In Sir Thomas Malory’s Le Morte Darthur, King Arthur’s nephew, Sir Gawain, is presented as a troublesome figure whose vengefulness hastens the collapse of Camelot. This characterization is unsurprising in the light of traditional French depictions of Gawain, but it is distinctly at odds with a rival, Anglo-Scottish tradition that depicts him rather differently as a figure of moderation, wise counsel, and courtesy.

In his early dream visions, Chaucer largely mirrors his Italian and French sources; however, his use of Arthurian allusions diverges from the French tradition in order to reflect the negative attitude found in fourteenth-century England towards the Arthurian myth. In Troilus and Criseyde , Chaucer reveals the extent to which he is indebted to the French tradition by using Lancelot as a model for his character of Troilus. In The Canterbury

    CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, NORTHRIDGE SIR GAWAIN OF THE COURT OF KING ARTHUR: A STUDY IN THE METAMORPHOSIS OF A HERO A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts with Honors in English by Christian R. Andersen May, 1984 The thesis of Christian R. Andersen is approved: Dr. Mahlon C. Gaumer III Director Second Reader Received by: Dr. Arthur Lane Director, Committee on Honors Sir Gawain of the Court of King Arthur: A Study in the Metamorphosis of a Hero To readers of the Arthurian tales the mention of King Arthur brings to mind a myriad of other names such as Lancelot, Galahad, Perceval, Gareth, and Gawain; heroes whose exploits comprise the substance of the legend of Arthur. Much like the twelve peers of Charlemagne, the knights of King Arthur's court and heroic individuals whose legends are interwoven and crossed into a single tapestry by association with the ruler of a mighty realm. In fact, critics have speculated that the Arthurian saga is very simple in its essential form. Certainly it is the tales of the heroes who have been attached to the story of Arthur that form the bulk of :he legend familiar to the reader of 1 Malory. Of these ancillary heroes, there is little doubt that the most popular, especially in the hearts of the English, was he who is known as v~alwein, Gwalmachmai, Gauvain, or simply Gawain. In fact, there are more tales dealing with Gawain than with Arthur in English literature. As R.W. Ackerman points out, "in no fewer than seven of the 2 [English] romances is he [Gawain] indisputably the hero."
