  • Queen Guinevere
    Ingvarsdóttir 1 Hugvísindasvið Queen Guinevere: A queen through time B.A. Thesis Marie Helga Ingvarsdóttir June 2011 Ingvarsdóttir 2 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Enskudeild Queen Guinevere: A queen through time B.A. Thesis Marie Helga Ingvarsdóttir Kt.: 060389-3309 Supervisor: Ingibjörg Ágústsdóttir June 2011 Ingvarsdóttir 3 Abstract This essay is an attempt to recollect and analyze the character of Queen Guinevere in Arthurian literature and movies through time. The sources involved here are Welsh and other Celtic tradition, Latin texts, French romances and other works from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, Malory’s and Tennyson’s representation of the Queen, and finally Guinevere in the twentieth century in Bradley’s and Miles’s novels as well as in movies. The main sources in the first three chapters are of European origins; however, there is a focus on French and British works. There is a lack of study of German sources, which could bring different insights into the character of Guinevere. The purpose of this essay is to analyze the evolution of Queen Guinevere and to point out that through the works of Malory and Tennyson, she has been misrepresented and there is more to her than her adulterous relation with Lancelot. This essay is exclusively focused on Queen Guinevere and her analysis involves other characters like Arthur, Lancelot, Merlin, Enide, and more. First the Queen is only represented as Arthur’s unfaithful wife, and her abduction is narrated. We have here the basis of her character. Chrétien de Troyes develops this basic character into a woman of important values about love and chivalry.

    BOOK REVIEWS Manuel Vázquez Montalbán (2003). Erec y Enide. Ed. Debolsillo: Barcelona. 253 pages (in Spanish) ISBN 84-9759-445-2 (vol. 511/1) reviewed by Fiona Taler (Flinders University) This review is offered in memory of don Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, who died tragically in Bangkok on 17 October 2003 on his return home after a lecture tour of Australia and New Zealand. His kindness, intelligence and ever present humour during his visit to Flinders University are fondly remembered. The use of myth to illustrate the malaise of present day society is neither new nor original in contemporary literature, but it is not often attended by analysis of such scholarly splendour as it is within this text. Vázquez Montalbán’s novel Erec y Enide is named after the work of the same name by Chrétien de Troyes (ca. 1175), in which the adventures of Geraint (Erec) are narrated as he drives his unfortunate wife, Enid (Enide) through innumerable dangers in order to prove his love for her as well as his valour as a knight of Arthur’s round table. In Vázquez Montalbán’s novel, Chrétien’s text is the most elaborately worked, but it is not the only Arthurian myth represented. The novel draws upon the story of Lancelot and Guinevere, the philosophy of Percival and, insistently, the forbidden love between Tristan and Iseult, in order to illustrate the inevitable and complete isolation of the individual within what one would normally consider a well integrated society. Thus, upon reflecting on the Arthurian world through the rich pages of Erec y Enide, one is made aware of the futility of knightly endeavour and, by analogy, of the futility of endeavour in the contemporary world.

Any opinions or claims contained in this Working Paper do not necessarily reflect the views of HSE Natalia M. Dolgorukova1 СEST ROMANZ FIST CRESTÏENS CHRÉTIEN DE TROYES AND THE BIRTH OF THE FRENCH NOVEL2 The paper addresses three controversial issues in two romances by Chrétien de Troyes - Yvain, or the Knight with the Lion and Lancelot, or the Knight of the Cart. Both romances were written around 1176-1180 and because of their narrative continuity and complementarity could be considered as a diptych. First, we examine the evolution of Chretien’s conception of love, “mysteriously” changing from his first romances to Lancelot; then we enter into the debate between celtisants and their critics about the Celtic influence in Chretien and consider Celtic sources of the two romances; we conclude the article, tracing out the fairy tale paradigm in both romances, which helps us reveal new meanings of the cart and the lion, operating as magic agents in the romances. Keywords: Chrétien de Troyes, “Yvain, or the Knight with the Lion”, “Lancelot, or the Knight of the Cart”, fin’amors, Breton Cycle, Celtic material, troubadours, trouvères, V.

Over the past few years, scholars have been devoting increasingly more attention to Wolfram’s Willehalm, primarily because of Gyburg’s so-called Toleranzrede and its theological implications. The aim of the present paper is to analyse the narrative construction of the concept of tolerance by examining how the figure of Gyburg and its interaction with other narrative instances (i.e. the narrator and other characters) in Wolfram’s work are constructed on the diegetic level to articulate a complex discourse on religious alterity from different standpoints, both within and outside the Christian world.

In the age of the Crusades the antagonistic encounter between Christian Europe and the Muslim Near East gave rise to a wealth of literary production in which the image of the ‘pagans’ oscillates from demonization to idealization.

  • Louis Aragon Was One of France's Most Prolific, Prominent, and Contro
    Jennifer Stafford Brown "AU FEU DE CE QUI FUT BRULE CE QUI SERA": LOUIS ARAGON AND THE SUBVERSIVE MEDIEVAL ouis Aragon was one of France's most prolific, prominent, and contro­ Lversial modern poets, causing strong reactions even among those he supported. As a novelist, a poet, an art critic, a member of the surrealist move­ ment and the French Resistance, and an active member of the PCF, he was throughout his long life a major figure of the French cultural landscape. From his well-known surrealist poetry to his cycle of socialist realist novels to the difficult postmodern works he wrote late in his life, his wildly diverse body of writing leaves no shortage of work for biographers and scholars. Aragon never accepted the status quo. As a surrealist, and later as an ardent Communist, he pushed the boundaries of metaphor, image, and style while passionately advocating literary and social change. During the turbulent years that led up to World War II, however, as well as during the war itself, the nature of his work changed subtly. Aragon, faced with national crisis, turned to the creation of a national myth. For him, as for many other authors, this new sense of nationalism had its roots in the Middle Ages. His contemporaries, as well as his later critics, were bewildered and intrigued by the unexpected source for this myth, going as it did against so many of his social and authorial sensibili­ ties: "Le projet d'Aragon est ala fois ideologique et poetique. II recherche les moyens d'une expression nationale, ou pour mieux dire franr;aise, a la fois populaire et savante ..

  • Hartmann Von Aue, Michel Foucault, and the Uses of the Past TRANSIT Vol
    Schultz: Thinking Sexuality Differently: Hartmann von Aue, Michel Foucault, and the… Thinking Sexuality Differently: Hartmann von Aue, Michel Foucault, and the Uses of the Past TRANSIT vol. 10, no. 1 James A. Schultz The studies that follow . are the record of a long and tentative exercise that needed to be revised and corrected again and again. It was a philosophical exercise. The object was to learn to what extent the effort to think one’s own history can free thought from what it silently thinks, and so enable it to think differently. – Michel Foucault, The Use of Pleasure In these words from the introduction to the second volume of his history of sexuality,1 Foucault suggests that a certain kind of engagement with the past might enable us to think differently. The volume that follows, a history of sexuality, would represent then an effort to engage with the past in a way that might enable us to think differently about sexuality. Writing at the end of the twelfth century, Hartmann von Aue does something similar. He uses the Arthurian past to enable him to think differently about what he calls love but which includes much of what we would call sexuality. In an attempt to make this claim plausible, I will first review some medieval views about the use of history and then explore the extent to which Hartmann, in Iwein, claims to be writing a history. Second, I will try to show how, in both Erec and Iwein, Hartmann uses the Arthurian past to think about sexuality in ways that might provoke his readers and auditors to think differently.
