Blons-Pierre, Catherine. "La subordination dans l'oeuvre de Chrétien de Troyes." Lyon 2, 1989. http://www.theses.fr/1989LYO20034.
Full textSubordination in the romances of Chretien de Troyes has been investigated in two different ways. First of all, a macroscopic study has been made to show how Chretien, in the twelfth century, used subordination in speech and narration in an inventive way. Then, this study has been completed by a microscopic approach consisting in analysing the various instruments of subordination represented by conjunctions and conjunctive locutions through statistical methods. Following this double approache, we have come to te conclusion that Chretien de Troyes was among those who have made the most elaborate researches on the possibilities offered by subordination

Full textThe illustrated manuscripts that preserve the writings of Chrétien de Troyes, Twelfth century poet and one of the first authors of Arthurian romances, may inspire new hypothesis about the practice of reading in the Middle Ages. Based on a material support like the illustrated manuscript, in which pictorial representation and written text coexist, the act of reading could have been a complex epistemological experience, that required the collaboration of different faculties –perception, imagination, memory and reason– in order to relate words with images and to extract significance from this relation. Parting from such premise, this thesis elucidates and sets forth the idea of the Arthurian hero that can be derived from an exercise like the previously described, i.e. one that relates Chretien’s conception of the Arthurian hero with the representations of the courtly knight in the miniatures. This will lead to a new way of understanding the Arthurian hero, which may explain the transformation of his nature in the medieval romances. It will also give general elements for the study of the heroic figure and its representations.
Gradu, Diana. "Récurrences des adjectifs chez Chrétien de Troyes : démarche stylistique et étude des mentalités." Paris 4, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA040241.
Full textThe analysis of the recurrences of the qualifying adjective in Chrétien de Troyes' work starts with a quantitative approach, meant to enable us to perform a qualitative examination of the unit announced by the title. The methodological principles applied are structural and comparative. On the one hand, it is a matter of isolating the adjective in the recurrent structures of Chrétien's poetical language and, on the other hand, of comparing – from the same viewpoint – his novels. Our research related to the functions of the qualifying adjective is the grammatical component of our work. What was at stake here was to prove the originality of this 12th century author, across the literary language of his time. The three aspects – namely the literary techniques, the use of highly recurrent adjectives and the symbolic dimensions of the adjectives – correspond to the leading ideas of the second part of the study. The dynamics of the Middle Ages mentalities is emphasized by the functioning of the qualifying adjective. Chrétien remains faithful to the techniques established by his predecessors and his originality is given by the sequence of units and by the creation of a different medieval world. The Appendixes are, according to us, indispensable for our critical approach, since they represent the corpus

Full textUntil now and probably because of the little attention given to them by our society, manners have not yet found their place either in education or in research. Nethertheless, important social issues are at stake behind their surface futility, for each individual as well as for society as a whole. From this observation, even though the present research implicitly raises behaviour in society to the rank of a science subject, its first aim is to find out what these stakes are and through which socioeducational strategies a social group perpetuates the manners that distinguish it and controls their evolutions. Therefore, relying on the analysis of the specific manners of the courtly society as they are shown in Chretien de Troyes's romances, the present research reveals that two complementary social processes are at work : the reproduction which ensures that manners are passed on to the individuals of the group and the supervision which ensures its conformity to social expectations. These two processes are at one in the social control of which they are the two dimensions. On this simple conceptual basis, we are concerned above all with the analysis of language manners and gestural manners whether they are female ones or male ones. To be more precise, we shall discover how these behaviours, which are marked with the social group's history, contribute to making men masculine and women feminine. Finally, by showing that manners work like social membership marks, this research brings to light both the necessity of their learning to ensure the inclusion of individuals in the group and its cohesion, but also the exclusion processes this learning insidiously exudes

Since the XI century Europe was underworing for great changes, through this changes amid one new type of literature, the novels of cavalry. These are stories told by poets of the courts, which tell the adventures of brave knights to please his beloved, the lady in most cases is the wife of his master. These narratives highlight Lancelot, the knight of the cart, where the love of Lancelot for queen Guinevere is narrated by the poet Chrétien de Troyes. For this love the knight faces, in the narrative follows, the most various adventures, the Lancelot’s love can be understood as causing a kind of madness, in his role as the rider leaves aside, even for a few moments his honor and the precepts of chivalry. Is this “crazy” love we analyzed in this work.
Durante o século XII a Europa passou por grandes transformações e em meio a essas mudanças surgiu um novo tipo de literatura, a dos romances de cavalaria. Eram histórias contadas por poetas das cortes, que narravam as aventuras de bravos cavaleiros para agradar sua amada, que na maioria das vezes era a esposa de seu senhor. Dessas narrativas destacamos Lancelote, o cavaleiro da carreta, onde o amor de Lancelote pela rainha Guinevere é narrado pelo poeta Chrétien de Troyes. Por amor a rainha, o cavaleiro enfrenta, no decorrer da narrativa, as mais variadas aventuras, e o amor é representado como uma espécie de loucura, e por sua causa o protagonista deixa de lado sua honra e os preceitos da cavalaria, chegando até mesmo a esquecer de si mesmo”. É esse amor “louco” que analisamos nesse trabalho.

Full textThe original old Norse translation of Chevalier au lion (Yvain) by Chretien de Troyes which was ordered by the king of Norway in the thirteenth century has only survived in fifteenth century Icelandic copies. The Icelandic text is thus about 150 years younger than the original translation. Our integrate comparison between the French original text and the Icelandic text has shown that the Icelandic text, titled Ivens Saga is much shorter than the original and differs from the former, which is in verse, in that it is a prose divided into chapters. The Icelandic 15th century text as we have it either translates perfectly, omits or condenses parts of the original. But the author of this choice of translated, omitted and summarized parts needed to have a perfect knowledge of the original work to operate without deviating or spoiling it. Almost all of the dialogues, which are an important part of the original work, are translated in Ivens Saga. The shortness of the Icelandic text is misleading for even though the summarized parts and those omitted are important and despite the corrupt parts of the work that are surely due to the manuscript transmission we still are in presence of a translation

Full textAt the end of the twelfth century, Chrétien de Troyes considered by many critics the greatest French poet of the so-called Middle Ages produced a narrative poem Yvain ou le Chevalier au Lion in which one perceives elements considered characteristic of the genre known as marvelous, such as magical objects and extraordinary beings, like monsters and giants. These elements among other factors led much of the criticism to see in medieval poetry, for a long time, some innocence, typical of a childhood of literature. Rejecting an evolutionary perspective, this study aims at looking at this ancient text respecting its otherness, but at the same time, bringing it to the center of current literature debates. A close look at the poem brings out the intimate relationship between the marvelous and the descriptive, main subject of the present study. Through the reading of the portrait of a monstrous peasant taken in its textuality, avoiding an artificial separation between form and content a shift is promoted in the concept of marvelous, no longer seen as a set of motifs, but as an effect of discursive operations.

Full textThe aim of this thesis is to study, from the narratological point of view, the evolution of medieval romance during the passage from the verse to the prose. We have chosen two texts, the "chevalier de la charrette" and the conte de la charrette in "lancelot en prose" as representatives of the verse and the prose respectively. The bi partite construction of this thesis reflects the double articulation that presents each text, to say, the theory of novel and its textual configuration. We tried to examine the coherence betwwen what the text makes believe (part one) and what it shows (part two). The "chevalier de la charrette", one of the first novels to be free from the idea of non-fiction tends to internal verisimilitude, whereas the attempt of tghe prose to give the veracity to the story is limited to the theoretic plan. Its narration becomes untruthful because of the imbalanced relationship between the theroy and the practice

Full textA name is, just like its use, revelatory in all respects. This study proposes to highlight the importance and especially the significance of Dames in some Old French verse and prose romances in langue d'oi͏̈l from the 12th and 13th centuries and particularly in this case from the Arthurian literature. Chrétien's poems (Erec et Enide, Cligès, Yvain ou le Chevalier au Lion, Le Chevalier de la Charrette and Le Conte du Graal (Perceval)), the Lais by Marie de France, the Folies Tristan of Berne and of Oxford, the Bel Inconnu by Renaut de Beaujeu, the Atre périlleux, the Continuations of Le Conte du Graal, Le Roman de l'Estoire dou Graal by Robert de Boron and his prose version, the three principal parts of the Lancelot-Grail cycle and the Perlesvaus are the subject of this analysis concerning the use of a name and its different aspects such as anonymity, name changing, renaming, the loss of a name, the late revelation of a name or his discovery, the absence of a name and the quest for a name (and sometimes even his conquest). A name, which is irrevocably linked to identity, is an excellent tool of knowledge. It holds and at the same time explains a lot of information and this is what is being presented in this study. The three names "Biel Fils", Bel Innconnu and Guinglain for example are not in fact owing to fate but they mark the evolutionary stages of a character

Full textThis thesis is a comparison between two “types” of heroes, attemting to explain two different traditions that are separated by centuries, genre and culture. On one hand, we have christian knights (Lancelot and Perceval of Chrétien de Troyes), and in the other hand we have muslims warriors (Baybars and Otmân from the Roman de Baybars). In the first part of the thesis, we have point up the initiatory character of the material studied, which is presented as the point of convergence among our heroes. In the second part, we talk more about the content and the literary aspect by going back to the origins of both genres: novel and sīra. In the third and last part of the document, we see how the woman is the motive for knighthood for Chrétien and how she is totally absent in the life of the heroes of the Roman de Baybars. On which image is the hero built, then, in each of these two cultures? Where is his place in the community and where does this community stand in his own life ?

Full textThis work is a comparative study of two novels of Chrétien de Troyes, Lancelot or the Knight of the chariots and Perceval or the Romance of the Grail and The demand of the Holy Grail. Through this study it intends to show that the reading of each novel, separately, can lead to misleading interpretations, since it is not considered the general context in which the works were produced. Thus, in this paper it aims a more complete reading of these works that would be in three stages: the reading that each author has made from the myth of King Arthur, which was built in phases, the reading of medieval context made by each author and the different readings that one author leads to see the other, which would not be possible without the crossing of the texts. Thus, it will be pursued in the works the treatment directed to women and the construction of the figure of the hero in three novels. Through these investigative lines it intendeds to demonstrate not only what the three works have in common features, but mainly, which are different. Firstly, it will review the critical fortune on the matter of Britain, seeking to show that the most relevant was said about these two important aspects pursued by the major authors that focused specifically on the works studied and on the stories involving the king Arthur and his court. Secondly, will be outlined the theory of intertextuality emphasizing the indispensable contribution of the gaze to the intertextual analysis of the works. From this, it will be the intersection of the three texts to prove the change that the theory of intertextuality provides the reading of three works. By making use of the theories of comparative literature, particularly the intertextuality, it intends to demonstrate that The demand of the Holy Grail is a continuation of Lancelot or the Knight of the chariots and of Perceval or the Romance of the Grail, in which the presence of Christian elements increasing gradually, and not its opposite, as affirm the majority of experts in the matter of Brittany.

Full textAuthors who lived at the Plantagenet court created a historical and cultural myth that was meant to contribute to the political and social consolidation of the kingdom. Marie de France’s Lais are situated in this context. The first part of my thesis focuses on how and why Marie addresses the historiographical work of Wace. Not only is his influence visible in the lais but his voluminous poetical chronicle might have inspired in Marie the very idea of composing a collection of twelve lais. The second part brings to light a significant number of intertextual connections between Marie de France and Chrétien de Troyes. It is argued that Marie saw some similarities between the tales of Celtic origin about the transformation of humans into animals and Ovid’s Metamorphoses, translated by young Chrétien de Troyes. In his turn, Chrétien did not hesitate to allude to Marie’s Lais, more or less openly. The third part centers on the key notions and certain genres of troubadour poetry as a potential source of Marie’s Lais. The fourth part examines the parodic aspect in the reception of the Matter of Britain and of Marie’s Lais by anonymous authors. The results of my research have lead me to the conclusion that Marie radically transformed the cultural and literary status of Breton tales, filling them with reminiscences of her contemporaries’ writings, ennobling the characters of her tales in accordance with the new moral code of the court, and endowing them with the gloss of a fairy-tale ideality. Her immediate successors made this gloss even more pronounced. Thus the genre of the lai acquired a precise shape, and the Breton chronotope became an essential element of the lai

Full textThis thesis is a comparative study of the Arthurian romances on the one side and the Shâh-Nâmeh of Ferdowsi on the other side, referring to the subject of the Grail. The challenge is, to study the origin of the Grail myth and try to explain the similarity between the myth of the Grail and Khvarna, the equivalent myth in Persian literature. In the first part, the thesis focuses on a study of the Grail myth in the work of Chrétien de Troyes, Wolfram von Eschenbach and Ferdowsi. Different manifestations of the myth, the spiritual sense around this myth will be the subject of this research in this part. In a second step, the thesis focuses the analysis on the origin of this myth much disputed among researchers of different schools, either Irano-Aryan or Celtic origin. This thesis defends the theory of Iranian origin, taking into account the Celtic myth too. According to this work, the structure of the Grail novel is based on Alano-Celtic folklore. Thereafter, Catharism, using it as the raw material, built a layer initiation specific to dualistic belief, in order to add the character of Perceval/ Parzival to the story of King Arthur. From this point of view, Parzival is closer to the Persian Kay Khosrow model. The divergence between the French author in relation to his German counterpart depends on their different social situation; Chrétien was an artist close to the religious authority of the Catholic Church and Wolfram, the knight who earned his living by singing, was close to Cathare heresy and the Templers. Finally, this work tries to show that the origin of this Aryan myth is that distorted by religions to achieve their ends and that the true meaning of the quest is not salvation but the “Übermensch”

Full textIn this doctoral thesis about the three Continuations of Percival, we analyse the hero's progression towards the Grail, which evolves according to the protagonist's mood and to the authors' frame of mind. Our study first describes the numerous elements taken up from the source text, which prove that the Continuations are in line with the Conte du Graal by Chrétien de Troyes. The study then analyses the specific identity of each piece of work. In Wauchier de Denain's work, the quester gets distracted in a magical world before reaching a Grail deprived of spiritual profoundness. In spite of its identification to the holy relic, the object is here more narrative than senefiant, and the succession of adventures makes the writer's pleausure obvious. Gerbert de Montreuil's perspective is completely different. As he aims at raising the chivalry's moral values, he presents the quester's progress as a path of penance towards the Redempting Grail, a guarantee for salvation. His design is opposed to Manessier's, in whose work the hero's improvement is made visible by an epic, hagiographic course towards a Grail that is sometimes profane, sometimes christian. Whereas Gerbert keeps the mystery along the progression of Percival, Manessier brings the story to an end and rationalises by telling the secrets from the beginning. Moreover, he dissociates chivalry from saintliness, which the other epigone endeavours to bind together. In the last part of the study, the Continuations are related to one another in order to seize their "continuative" aesthetics and their shared themes which create their unity

Full textChrétien de Troyes’ novels aroused many rewritings. From the XIIIth until the XVth century,several novelists resumed the framework of Chrétien’s language by overtaking the writing inverse. They adopted writing in prose considered best granter of truth, similitude andcredibility for the story. The versions would compete through mixing various styles andstrategies and mainly by celebrating a phenomenon which blooms particularly in the prose ofthe Lancelot, the interlacing. The language also evolved in the course of the centuries. Thisevolution is getting noteworthy when used in prose style as such it looks much betterstructured than the other styles in both narration and syntax. Nevertheless, this care fororganization goes as far as creating sometimes some semantic confusion. And yet in mostcases, it reveals the specificity of each author and his own preferences in terms of writingwhen rewriting Chrétien de Troyes’ novels

Full textScholars agree that “the gift of one’s word” is of prime importance in the Middle Ages but studies on vows, oaths and promises in French medieval literature often narrow the focus to items with historical referents (e. G. Feudal oath, judicial oath) or used as literary devices (e. G. Ambiguous or equivocal oath, don contraignant or contraint). The aim of this study is to present the reader with a systematical and interdisciplinary approach to the topic in the Conte du Graal Cycle, begun in the second half on the 12th c. By Chrétien de Troyes at the bequest of Philip of Flanders and ended in the first half of the 13th c. By Manessier at the bequest of Joanna of Flanders. Parts I-II stress the duality of the notions of vow and oath, a vow (“a promise made to a divinity”) being a votum or a devotio and an oath (“a promise made before a divinity”) being a sacramentum or a juramentum, as well as the complexity of the notion of promise, represented by prometre, promesse and covent, covenant (“the gift of one’s word”), fiance, (a)fiancier, and creance, (a)creanter (“the gift of one’s faith”), or afier and plevir. Part III presents the oath formulas with si (e. G. Si m’aït Diex) and with se (e. G. Se Diex m’aït) as conventions used in the dialogue or in the polylogue to denote the intentions, conflictual or consensual, of the speaker toward the addressee. Finally, Parts IV-V deal with the “blank promise” and the “promise with an intimation to the divinity” as narrative motifs and with the promises of the two main heroes, Perceval and Gauvain, in relation to the narrative structure of the cycle

Full textAfter having outlined a functional definition of the “literary myth”, and having proposed a new way of approaching this object under the label “myrhoreadings”, the present work is divided into two main parts. The first one is diachronic. Its aim is to analyse the historical construction of the myth of Percival, from Chrétien of Troyes until now. The main purpose of this inquiry is to examine how the myth’s value and meaning were gradually elaborated through its rewritings, and how each period, each author have met the myth as a “mirror” reflecting his personal concerns and allowing him to configure his experience of the world. The main figures along this journey are (among about eighty authors) Richard Wagner and Julien Gracq. The second part proposes two thematic approaches to the myth of Percival: the first one focuses on the family issues and the relational stuctures central to most of the rewritings of the myth (where Oedipus, this “anti-percival”, is rarely far away). The second theme examines the frequent use of this myth as a model for the two poles of the literary activity: reading (quest of meaning) and writing (poetic quest).

Full textThis work attempts to shed light on the origin of the legend of Erec and Enide through the comparative study of Chrétien de Troyes' Erec and the Welsh mabinogi of Gereint. The striking resemblance between both narratives raises the question of the origin of the Arthurian romance lends a strategic slant on the debate. Focusing first on the way the debate has taken shape historically, we have analysed the foundations and the implications of the main two hypotheses that have been predominant for over a century, with one critical trend considering Erec as the model for Gereint while another postulated a common source to both works. Then, we took advantage of Rachel Bromwich and Roger Sherman Loomis'recent research to sustain the hypothesis of the common source by bringing forward an Armorican element -the Breton lay of Waroc and Gwened- this research has helped widen the terms of a debate which had traditionally been limited to the alternative between either the Celtic or the continental origin. Finally, through the systematic analysis of patterns in the main episodes, we have attempted to give clear answers as regards the configuration of this common source, carefully examining the main arguments developed by critics. In fine, this research has enabled us to outline the process of formation of the legend of Erec and Enide, from its origin up to Chrétien's romance and the mabinogi of Gereint

Full textIn Medieval society the truth was held in the highest esteem. The belief in an omniscient God whose Word is truth guarantees this conviction: thoughts and speeches must be coherent and free of falsehood. The deceptive situations, abundant in courtly narratives are a direct contradiction of this moral call. They challenge the ideal and gladly Manichean world of courtly literature, blurring the clear oppositions between dissimulation and revelation, hypocrisy and sincerity. The usually discursive aspect of lie questions the author’s work in a period where the Romanic literature becomes aware of its stakes. The matter of language and its adequacy with truth is a fundamental concern. Furthermore, the status of fiction, even more troublesome, gives way to a constant tension between the authenticity of the narrative and the fictionalisation of the author figure, appearing less a poet and more a storyteller

Full textThe thesis is composed of three parts: the first one reflects theoretical questions concerning the connection between myth and literature. It also exposes the methodological concept of the thesis. An excursus analyses the metaphor of the tissue and reads it as a metaphor for the connection between myth and literature. This part also shows the parallels between the lai of the Laüstic and some of the mythic patterns of the myth of Philomel like the role of the nightingale, the topic of language and silence, or the woven communication. The second part is composed of four subchapters, which point out different texts who are all retelling the myth of Philomel in their own different way. The French and German text versions were written between the second half of the 12th century (by authors like Marie de France, Chrétien de Troyes, Albrecht von Halberstadt) and 1545 (by Georg Wickram). The third part of the thesis tries to show that four different mythic patterns are used by all authors, nevertheless of the many variations their texts show

Full textOur work is based on the scientific study of three anonymous and previously unpublished antiheretic treaties. The study of this edition has allowed a new light to be thrown on the understanding and construction of the antiheretic discourse. These various treaties do not portray a Cathar heresy constituted as a true religion. They must be taken into consideration as a group of chapters that are as many problems as can be raised about the Catholic dogma – problems not to be looked upon as interdependent but liable to exist for themselves. The treaties have been written by a compiler rather than by an author as their constitution by the organization of authorities classified by themes makes obvious. In so doing, the goal of the compiler was not, though he uses free direct speech in his discourse, to become involved in a controversy with possible heretics but rather to instruct priests who had the cure of souls. The three texts only have commonplaces to offer on each of the various themes, thus conferring a timeless image to the treaties. This may seem surprising at first but becomes clear enough when one considers they were in the first place popularizing works written by scholars and intended for priests looked down upon as ignorant. A crucial theme, that of ecclesiology and sacraments, runs through the three treaties while that of dualism gains both in importance and clarity. At the same time other themes, such as those dealing with priesthood as well as oath and murder, are obviously loosing ground

Full textFar to the fashions and the main trends, the Michel Rio's romanesque work takes place among literature and philosophy, art and science. This doctoral thesis gives the means to achieve an open reading of this work, careful to its theorical stokes and its topics (art, eroticism, dandysm, melancholy, death). Overstepping the field of literature, working about interdisciplinary approaches, Michel Rio's romance rexamine a founding dream of literature. Michel Rio's work also reconsider the arthurian legend through the rewriting of Merlin, Morgan and Arthur's Myth. This appropriation bring forward Arthur's legend in the history. It transposes the legend in the Brittany of the IVth and the Vth century and not the XII one, as usual in literary tradition. This free analysis givens an new poetic dimension to the legend
Skliris, Dionysios. "Le concept de tropos chez Maxime le Confesseur." Thesis, Paris 4, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015PA040206.
Full textThe terms logos (reason) and tropos (mode) form a very important couple in the thought of Maximus the Confessor (c. 580-662). In our PhD thesis, we are examining the contexts in which Maximus the Confessor is using the term tropos (mode) either inside the couple logos-tropos or independently. We are not developing the concept of tropos as a uniform doctrine, but we are examining it mostly as a means or as a conceptual “tool” which helps Maximus solving very different problems in diverse domains of his thought. We thus examine the use of the term tropos in contexts such as logic, the philosophical relation between universality and particularity, Trinitarian theology, the question of evil or Theodicy, cosmology, the stages of spiritual progress, the theory of the ontological actualization of beings, Christology and eschatology. In each case, we are insisting in the terms which are determined by the word tropos, the terms which are determined by the word logos, as well as the relations of contrast, opposition or simple distinction between them. We are equally examining the lexical field that is related to the term tropos. In general, logos expresses the stability and the permanence that are necessary for the existence of a meaning which could be contemplated by the philosopher, whereas tropos means a modality which opens a space for contingence, surprise and innovation inside History. The emphasis is placed on the fact that tropos is exactly a modality which can coexist with logos without annulling, altering or corrupting it

The novelty of Chrétien de Troyes’ concept of love, chivalry and marriage is the mélange of the three, which is proven unprecedented before his time. I compare the contemporary notion of love, chivalry and marriage with that of Chrétien de Troyes. In chapter one, the concept of love is well presented, especially the important term la fin’amors. In the second chapter, I compare the new chivalric idea of Chrétien de Troyes with his contemporaries. For the author, chivalry is meant to help those in need and restrain brutality by granting mercy to the defeated. In the third chapter, the new notion of marriage based on love is introduced. For the nobility, love and marriage are like two water-proof compartments. Love is won by the victory of a knight in tournaments. Bravery is thus the key to the lock in a woman’s heart. Nevertheless, love does not pave the way to marriage. The love that a brave knight conquers only exists outside marriage. For a knight, love is a game to seduce other women, married or not, than his own wife. Love is always sexual and thus adulterous, if we apply our own moral standard to it. There are quite a few noble women for a young knight to suit in tournaments. Marriage, barely based on love or the mutual consent of the married couple, is traded among the aristocrats for the exchanges of political and economical interest. The author proposes a new perspective not only to reinstitute marriage but also maintain it harmoniously between husband and wife, when crisis occurs out of the imbalance between chivalry and love. In order to make marriage work, both parties involved must realize that too much chivalric valor in marriage will dwarf the growth of love (see in the case of Yvain and Laudine), which is the very basis of marriage, whereas if any knight indulges himself in love and ignore his chivalric duties, his name will be tainted with laxity of bravery (see in the case of Erec and Enide), which is nothing more than the abandonment by the chivalric circle. As wives, Laudine and Enide must learn to recognize the chivalric valor of their husband and the necessity to maintain by participating in tournaments. Neither chivalry nor love can be single-handedly dominant in marriage. Husband and wife are equally important and thus responsible of making or not making marriage work. This is the new notion of the twelfth century marriage, which may serve as role model for today’s marriage.

Full textIn France, the social, cultural, and political changes of the turn of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries will impose on nascent romanticism another basis for inspiration than that of antiquity, which is that of classicism: the Middle Ages. Victor Hugo and Honoré de Balzac will be part of the romantic authors who will adapt the imaginary resources of the medieval works including the knight figure. Why did the romantics observe such a source of sense in this figure? What are the necessary amendments for a symbol so strongly linked to the Middle Ages, required for adapted use in romantic aesthetics? This will be examined through observation of the knight figure in the medieval works, Le chevalier de la charrette (Chrétien de Troyes) and Le Lancelot en prose (unknown author), compared to the romantic knight that is present in La légende du beau Pécopin et de la belle Bauldour (Victor Hugo) and Le frère d’armes (Honoré de Balzac). This comparison will highlight that the symbol of the knight represented in these romantics works is transformed and adapted.

Full textThis thesis aims to provide an original analysis on an often studied yet controversial issue: the introduction of the notion of authorship in French language medieval literature. The objective here is to reconsider the poetic, cultural, and historical signification of the particular moment when the author – understood here as the attribution of a text or of a series of texts to a proper noun – first became an essential structuring criteria in the production, and more importantly, in the transmission of French-language texts through medieval manuscripts. Using Michel Foucault’s concept of fonction-auteur, theories of reception and of the paratext, as well as New Codicology, this thesis will consider the author as a signifying textual and editorial construction within several literary collections written in langue d’oïl, in which the editors clearly and undeniably sought to construct figures of the author. Based on the systematic examination of the manuscript tradition of approximately 320 names of langue d’oïl poets, who were active between 1100 and 1340, this analysis will focus primarily on 25 manuscripts containing authorial collections dedicated to 17 poets, whose names are strongly associated with a series of texts that are copied one after the other. Among these authors are the famous Chrétien de Troyes, Rutebeuf and Adam de la Halle, as well as Philippe de Thaon, frère Angier, Guillaume le clerc de Normandie, Pierre de Beauvais, Philippe de Remi, Gautier le Leu, Jacques de Baisieux, Geoffroi de Paris, Jean de l’Escurel, Baudouin de Condé, Jean de Condé, Watriquet de Couvin and Nicole Bozon. This thesis attempts to question and ultimately discard the common conception according to which the manuscripts containing individual authorial collections constituted – along with the famous biographies of the troubadours and the chansonniers of the trouvères, often considered as their « ancestors » – the timid beginnings of the rise of the « modern author », himself a prequel to « literary subjectivity », « autobiographical aesthetics » and an ever stronger control exerted by actual empirical authors over the manuscript transmission of their own works. While offering contextual and material updates – supported by original data – regarding the collaborative process that went into the creation of these collections, as well as the modular aspect of their reception, this thesis will show that these collections were formed through a rich dialogue with the centuries-old latin model of the auctor – who is at once an author, a guardian of truth (auctoritas) and a prestigious ambassador of grammar –, as well as with the antique tradition of « biobibliographical » texts, dealing with the life and works of famous and exemplary authors, such as De viris illustribus, by saint Jerome. The manuscripts studied here repeatedly used this ancient model of biobibliography (« the life and works ») in order to stage a competition between authors writing in langue d’oïl and auctores. This confrontation is particularly interesting when one considers that – contrary to what may be observed in the case of the troubadours, who were quickly seen as the new illustrious vernacular auctores, worthy of vouching for the excellency of langue d’oc poetry and grammar – , we are not simply dealing here with a form of imitation or adaptation in French of ancient models. In fact, the analogy with auctores allows for autoreflexive and sometimes ironic learned exercises, dealing with the editorial, poetic and epistemological creation of the type of author and auctoritas in manuscript collections in langue d’oïl, an idiom which at the time (1100-1340) lacked a true grammar, yet was used in various literary genres meant for entertainment, such as romance, which explored the evanescent barriers between truth and lies, good and evil. Rather than a small step in the long path towards an inevitable coronation, the « invention of the French author » undertaken by these collections constitutes an action that reflects all the uncertainty and interrogations of those who undertook it, while being fully convinced of its utter vanity in the eyes of God and death.
