Full textThe figure of woman takes leading role in the novels of chivalry Cycle Breton. Emerging as an element that links the narratives of the legendary Arturo, it constitutes a vital and multifaceted adjuvant in the construction of the episodes in an ongoing interaction with the male represented mainly by knights. The Medieval brings up a nuanced picture of the female: the woman socially viewed under various divisions is reflected in the literature of chivalry, as it can be seen in The Quest for the Holy Grail. The female presence is important in the narrative, especially in its tense relationship with the chivalry, now linked to the religious element monasticated, ascetic and celibaterian. The main objective of our study is to investigate how the sociocultural medieval mold, in which was shaped The Quest for the Holy Grail relates to its substrate, the narratives originated of the worldview inherent in the Celtic imagination, thus our analytical bias uprights in the female element in this work. More specifically, it becomes a scope which the image of characters reflects the ideology of clerical didactic and moralistic of the thirteenth century. However it redeens the image of characters imbued with singular duality; that ambiguity which is not only a mark of the medieval paradoxical concerning the female, but also of literary characters designed between two worlds, two distinct ideological poles. In other words, it is about personas who are "bifront fictional beings". Characters located between the inheritances and identities. The research bases were the episodes in which these polidimensionals ladies appear and become adjuvants in literary action, either to cooperate, confuse or impair the knights who undertake the sacred, ineffable and "fortunate" quest for the Holy Chalice which will end the adventures of the Kingdom of Logres

Full text"La matèria artúrica en la literatura catalana medieval i les seves connexions europees" quiere explorar las posibilidades de esta temática más allá del ámbito estrictamente catalan. Para hacerlo, la tesis propone analizar todos los trabajos de Chrétien de Troyes, un auténtico maestro de la “conjointure”, que estableció las bases para el posterior desarrollo de la materia artúrica. Además, el último de sus "romans", que quedó inacabado, proporcionó una excelente fuente de inspiración para la siguiente generación de escritores, al mismo tiempo que el Grial se convirtió en el gran misterio capaz de dar con más de una solución. El fascinante proceso de transformación del Grial nos conduce hacia la literatura catalana con una fuerte convicción que tiene que haber alguna cosa más que lo que realmente se ha conservado. Cuatro casos (La Stòria del Sant Grasal, los fragmentos del Tristany, La Faula de Guillem de Torroella y La Tragèdia de Lançalot de Mossèn Gras) ejemplifican diferentes resultados de la difusión por toda Europa de las historias del rey Arturo y sus caballeros de la Tabla Redonda. Las conclusiones sobre esto son claras: quizás el material seleccionado pueda ser ampliado, pero tenemos que pensar que el profundo conocimiento del contexto histórico de la época, los trabajos codicológicos y el estudio de los manuscritos escritos en otras lenguas son las asignaturas pendientes sobre esta cuestión.
"La matèria artúrica en la literatura catalana medieval i les seves connexions europees" wants to explore the possibilities of this subject beyond the Catalan sphere. First, it is proposed the analysis of all works of Chrétien de Troyes, a truly master of “conjointure”, that established the bases of the later development of Arthurian Matter. In addition, the last of his "romans", without a proper end, provided an excellent background to the next generation of writers, and the Grail became a huge mystery with a more than one solution. The fascinating process of Grail’s transformation leads us to the Catalan literature with a strong certitude that it had to be more than what we actually preserve. Four cases (La Stòria del Sant Grasal, the Tristan fragments, La Faula of Guillem de Torroella and La Tragèdia de Lançalot of Mossèn Gras) exemplifies different results of the spread across Europe of the stories about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. The conclusions on this topic are clear: maybe the selected material for this work can be enlarged, but we must keep in mind that a detailed knowledge of historical context, the codicology works and the study of other language’s manuscripts are the pending issues in this subject.

The present work has as main objective to point the passages of classic content presented in the medieval novel A Demanda do Santo Graal (portuguese edition of The Quest for the Holy Grail), a novel about chivalry of the first half of the thirteenth century, in order to explain the reason why exist these passages in the novel in question. Another objective is to show how the Middle Ages realize a retaking of values of classical Antiquity. especially with regard to the attitude of the medieval knight: this was the greek hero (or roman hero) as the ideal of bravery, virtue and loyalty; the imaginary of medieval cavalier (or "the imaginary created around of the medieval knight") was practically the same imaginary of greek hero (or roman hero), because of the similarity between the historical and literary context in which they both arose. The theory that underpins this work is the Teoria da Residualidade, created by Robe1to Pontes, critic, essayist and professor of Literature of the Universidade Federal doo Cearà - UFC. During the research, the concepts of imaginary and residual, proposed respectively by the Ãcole des Annales and Raymond Williams, a marxist literary critic, are also present. With regard to the methodology, it must be said that the research was conducted, at first, through readings of classics of the ancient Literature (Homer's Iliand and Odyssey, Vergil's Aeneid and Ovid's Metamorphoses) and portuguese novels about chivalry (Amadis de Gaula and, especially, A Demanda do Santo Graal) and through comparative literature, since there was a work of comparison between these texts. Finally, this research is relevant to the academic community because in mentions, in a medieval and christian novel (A Demanda do Santo Graal), an important aspect of the novels about chivalry: the classic, so much neglected by most scholars which deal with the novels of the breton cycle.

Full textLe Conte du Graal (1190), dernier roman de Chrétien de Troyes, est demeuré inachevé par son auteur. Les quatre Continuations (1190 à 1235) qui le prolongent forment avec lui un cycle narratif d'environ 70 000 vers, soit 60 000 de plus que le texte original. Force est de constater que les continuateurs ne respectent pas l'impératif de discrétion que Gérard Genette voyait comme étant corollaire à la continuation (Genette, 1982). En successeurs infidèles, ils trahissent le patrimoine narratif légué par Chrétien afin d'en garantir, paradoxalement, l'actualité. Parce qu'il suggère l'idée d'un héritage partagé par une communauté d'individus, le thème du lignage sert d'outil métatextuel aux auteurs des Continuations pour réconcilier – parfois avec ludisme – les deux principes divergents qui régissent leur écriture, à savoir la nécessité de former une famille (un ensemble narratif synchronique) avec le Conte du Graal et celle de s'interroger sur l'héritage et la diachronie de la composition de ce même ensemble, dont les étapes correspondent à différents moments de l'histoire littéraire des XIIe et XIIIe siècles. En jumelant les théories jaussiennes de la réception avec celles de la paratextualité et de la « nouvelle philologie », le présent mémoire aura pour dessein de cerner la spécificité poétique des œuvres du corpus, tant du point de vue de leur conception que de celui de leur réception. Si l'on verra que les continuateurs ont cherché à déjouer les attentes du lectorat concernant les codes de la continuation et, plus généralement, du genre romanesque, on s'attardera également sur les moyens mis en œuvre par les copistes pour rendre les Continuations plus conformes aux goûts de l'époque. Du fait que les auteurs et les scribes usent souvent de la métaphore filiale pour mettre en abyme leur propre démarche de réécriture ou de refonte codicologique, les rapports lignagers serviront de fil conducteur à cette analyse qui cherche à esquisser un portrait de « l'imaginaire d'un romancier français du XIIe siècle » (Gallais, 1988) et de son public des siècles suivants.

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.

O Movimento Armorial tem tido, antes e a partir de sua oficialização (1970), os mais variados resultados estéticos nos diversos campos artísticos. Porém, o conjunto mais significativo de formulações teóricas a seu respeito esteve sempre a cargo de seu criador e maior incentivador, Ariano Suassuna. Este escritor construiu até hoje uma trajetória como artista, professor, teórico e gestor cultural, coerente com os princípios armoriais e com a sua interpretação da cultura brasileira, identificada como uma Nação Castanha . Nosso objetivo, neste trabalho, é discutir, por um lado, a complementaridade entre discurso e obra de Ariano Suassuna quanto à afirmação épica das identidades populares (Canclini, 2005) subjacente à Nação Castanha . E, por outro, de que forma essa afirmação é retomada e reforçada nas experiências de dança armorial desde a década de 1970; mas também reformulada pelo conjunto da trajetória do Grupo Grial (existente desde 1997 e atuante até hoje), através da noção de corpo‐história (Louppe, 2004), implicado em todo o percurso do grupo e levado como questão para seus últimos espetáculos. Consideramos, na nossa discussão, variados depoimentos, artigos, entrevistas de Ariano Suassuna, mas em especial seu romance armorial brasileiro , A Pedra do Reino (1971), e sua tese de livre docência, A Onça Castanha e a Ilha Brasil (1976). No âmbito da dança, discutimos as várias tentativas de realizar uma dança armorial desde a década de 1970, sobretudo os investimentos no Balé Armorial do Nordeste e no Balé Popular do Recife; mas focalizamos nossa atenção no trabalho do Grupo Grial, especialmente em três espetáculos representativos das suas diferentes fases: A Demanda do Graal Dançado (1998); As Visagens de Quaderna ao Sol do Reino Encoberto (2000); e Ilha Brasil Vertigem (2006)

Full textIn a brief essay entitled “The Ambition of the Short Story,” Steven Millhauser provocatively asserts the artistic superiority of the short story over the novel. In order to support his argument, Millhauser quotes Romantic poet William Blake, while profoundly altering the original meaning of Blake’s line. Indeed, while the poet wishes “to see a world in a grain of sand,” Millhauser deems it possible to see the world in a grain of sand. Steven Millhauser thus favors a concise, pithy style capable of turning a few grains of sand (that is to say, some tiny and apparently trifling details) into windows, enabling the writer to engage with “the world.” Moving seamlessly from the minuscule to the gigantic, and from the particular to the universal, Millhauser’s art of fiction may be considered a miniaturist writing. In his very first essay, “The Fascination of the Miniature,” the author claims that there is “no difference between a grain of sand and a galaxy,” thus drawing attention to the decisive role played by the human eye. Indeed, everything hinges on the scale one adopts. This study aims at explaining how Steven Millhauser invents a miniaturist type of writing, not only in his short fiction, but also in his novels. Combining theory and fiction, Millhauser explores the “poethical” (a neologism coined by French poet Michel Deguy) importance of attention to detail. Merging attention and imagination, the author develops a metamorphic gaze, able to reveal the whole within the fragment and the essential within the insignificant. Millhauser’s miniaturist writing has a territory and a scale of its own: the New England small town. The narratives devoted to suburban daily life are most often presented as miniature fables, exploring the human condition. According to Millhauser “the great realist masters brilliantly exhausted a method, a way of looking at the world.” Steven Millhauser’s own minute, miniaturist writing offers such a method and way of looking at the world. He invites his reader to see the world through the prism of the “grain of sand”—to somehow suspend his disbelief, as Coleridge would say, yet without being deceived. With his miniaturist eye Steven Millhauser contributes to the renewal of contemporary American fiction, going beyond suspicion while trying to describe and inscribe what he calls “the blazing thing that deserves the name of reality.”

Full textEsta dissertação tem como objetivo trabalhar com a forte significação que o feminino apresenta nas narrativas medievais, em especial nA Demanda do Santo Graal e nA Divina Comédia, dois dos mais importantes textos medievais. Pode-se observar um padrão na caracterização dessas mulheres, pois elas são modelos do Bem ou do Mal. Pode-se perceber esse modelo em ambas as obras citadas. NA Demanda do Santo Graal, encontram-se mulheres que desviam o caminho do homem rumo ao Graal que representa o máximo da ascese espiritual. São as mulheres pecadoras, filhas de Eva, que trouxe a morte ao mundo. Também, na Demanda, encontram-se mulheres santas e plenas de virtude que se equiparam à mãe de todas as santas da literatura medieval: Beatriz, dA Divina Comédia. Beatriz é um guia espiritual e não um obstáculo a ser ultrapassado. Daí vai a comparação com as mulheres plenas de virtude da Demanda. Aqui as mulheres santas das duas obras se equiparam. São todas elas símbolos de crescimento na vida dos personagens masculinos. No entanto, tentaremos comprovar que Beatriz é a maior de todas e será utilizada neste trabalho porque na Demanda não podemos encontrar o modelo de mulher perfeita. Chega-se então ao principal objetivo desse trabalho que é observar, na literatura medieval, os vários tipos de mulheres existentes, e as semelhanças e diferenças entre elas, especialmente nA Divina Comédia e nA Demanda do Santo Graal. Tenta-se com isso traçar um elo entre essas duas importantes literaturas (portuguesa e italiana) através de dois textos que apresentam o misterioso papel das mulheres na literatura

I perceive the Judaeo-Christian tradition as more comprehensive than it is treated in the biblical canon. This work aims to unfold paths undertaken by some Judaeo-Christian myths, that is, mythical structures, which corroborated the construction of new myths, such as those of Percival’s sister and Solomon’s wife – characters of A demanda do Santo Graal (1995), Portuguese translation from the 15th century, copy of a French sample from the 18th century. In this trajectory, it is essential to consider, besides the biblical scripture, some apocryphal manuscripts which lend literary elements of feminine prominence and humility to the matter of Britain. This character, for example, was scarcely referred in the Portuguese Demand; therefore it is essential that La queste del Saint Graal (1923), present in Vulgata, be consulted for the purpose of studying the narrative of Solomon’s wife. Thus, according to the Judaeo-Christian tradition one can attest that the elements borrowed from it, still echo in discourses, which sometimes vilify and sometimes defend women, making them exemplary and heroic feminine figures, despite carrying the heavy burden of anti feminine tradition. Such misogynous burden is noticed in the narratives that aim at legitimating the Grail’s hero lineage, taking the Hebrew kings from the biblical tradition as ancestors. It is from this androcentric nucleus that heroic feminine narratives will emerge, softening the bitterness against women, in the moment heroes find themselves in abulia in face of the unknown. For this purpose, the dissertation carries out an analytical study of the referred literary pieces, following the methodological procedures of bibliographic, qualitative research, identifying the literary, sociological, historical and cultural perspectives. It tried to unveil the paths taken by the characters Percival’s sister and Solomon’s wife, along their mythical trajectory, compatible to the Judaeo- Christian tradition.
Compreendendo que a tradição judaico-cristã é mais extensa do que está grafado no cânone bíblico, este trabalho propõe-se a desvelar os caminhos percorridos por alguns mitos judaico-cristãos, isto é, estruturas míticas que amparam a construção de novos mitos, como os da irmã de Persival e da mulher de Salomão, personagens presentes n’A demanda do Santo Graal (1995), tradução portuguesa do século XV, cópia de um exemplar francês do século XIII. Neste percurso, é necessário que se considere, além do texto bíblico, alguns textos apócrifos que emprestaram motivos literários da proeminência e da humildade femininas à matéria da Bretanha, como os que estruturaram os mitos da irmã de Persival e da mulher de Salomão. Esta personagem, por exemplo, recebe apenas poucas citações na Demanda portuguesa, sendo indispensável o manuseio de La queste del Saint Graal (1923), presente na Vulgata, para se conhecer a narrativa da mulher de Salomão. De tal modo, seguindo a tradição judaico-cristã, vê-se que os motivos, dela tomados de empréstimo, continuam por ecoar discursos que ora difamam, ora defendem a mulher, tornando as personagens figuras exemplares e heroicas, ainda que carreguem o fardo da tradição antifeminina. Tal fardo misógino será percebido nas narrativas que visam a legitimar a linhagem do herói do Graal, tomando como ancestrais os reis hebreus da tradição bíblica. É neste núcleo androcêntrico que irromperão as narrativas heroicas femininas, suavizando o ranço contra as mulheres, quando os heróis mostrarem-se em abulia frente ao desconhecido. Para tanto, a tese, realizando um estudo analítico das mencionadas obras, pautando-se na pesquisa de cunho bibliográfico e qualitativa, reconhecendo o viés literário, sociológico, histórico e cultural, procurou deslindar os caminhos percorridos pelas personagens, a irmã de Persival e a mulher de Salomão, em sua trajetória mítica, segundo a tradição judaico-cristã.

Full textThis dissertation aims at presenting a reading proposal departing from Luiz Ruffato’s literary project entitled Inferno provisório, considering all the five novels as a “history against the grain” according to Walter Benjamin’s concept of history. The research is concerned to conduct a reflection on the historical and social context depicted in the author’s works, investigating what Ruffato selects to figure in his pentalogy and how he organizes it formally. Besides situating Ruffato’s work inside the contemporary Brazilian literature, we intend to point out Inferno provisório as a specific novel in the national fiction produced in the XXIst century due to both the way the story is narrated and the form being adopted by the author. In this sense, our goal is to investigate how the author uses the aesthetics of fragments in the montage of a romanesque panel and to what he alludes in his version against the grain of history of national modernization in which he values the perspective of Brazilian workers represented generally as migrants who move in search of jobs. In this critical reading, it is emphasized the version of history considering the failure perspective of the modernization project realized through the resulting problem of geographical displacement which causes the dissolution of ties with the origin and promotes identity changes experienced in the form of not belonging and the uprooting. Issues such as migration, identity, modernization, and its consequences permeate the analysis of Ruffato’s pentalogy.
El objetivo de esta tesis es presentar una lectura del proyecto literario de Luiz Ruffato, titulado Inferno provisório, teniendo en cuenta el conjunto de las cinco novelas como una “historia a contrapelo” como el concepto propuesto por Walter Benjamin. Nuestra investigación se centra em levar a cabo una reflexión sobre el contexto histórico y social representado en la obra del autor minero, investigando lo que Ruffato selecciona para representar en su pentalogia y como él la organiza formalmente. Tenemos la intención, además de situar el trabalho de Ruffato en la literatura brasileña contemporánea, apuntar Inferno provisório como una novela peculiar en la ficción nacional producida en el siglo XXI en virtud de la historia narrada y de la forma empleada. En este sentido, nuestra pauta es investigar cómo el autor utiliza la estética del fragmento en la montaje de un panel romanesco y la que él alude en su versión a contrapelo de la historia de la modernización nacional en la cual valoriza la perspectiva de los trabajadores brasileños representados en general como sujetos migrantes que se movimientan en la búsqueda de empleos. En esta lectura crítica, se pone en evidencia la versión de la historia mirada bajo a la perspectiva del fracaso del proyecto modernizador percibido a través de la problemática resultante de los desplazamientos geográficos que provocan la disolución de los vínculos con el origen y promoven cambios de identidad experimentado en forma de no pertenecimiento y del desarraigo. Temas como la migración, identidad, modernización y sus desarrollos trascienden el análisis de las novelas de la pentalogia.

It is pretended searching how the materials have been treated in similar ways, as well as how it has been looked for the narrative strategies that have allowed creating singular novels. Historical and lyrical novels, bildungsroman, even tales, will have influenced in these last ones along the past twentieth century.

Full textThis work examines the transformations of the Holy Grail from medieval romances to modern plays. The Holy Grail, which first appeared in the Middle Ages, remains a source of inspiration for modern writers and gained, over time, a legendary status. This important feature of Arthurian literature has evolved significantly since the Middle Ages, where it remained however confined to narrative forms. After the festival (Bühnenweihfestspiel) where Wagner’s Parsifal was first presented in 1882 in Bayreuth, more recent works have renewed the myth by adapting it to the theatre. Jean Cocteau, in 1937, in Les Chevaliers de la Table Ronde, presented an inaccessible and intangible Grail. In 1948, Julien Gracq, in Le Roi Pêcheur, placed the Grail at the core of the opposition between profane and sacred. Jacques Roubaud and Florence Delay, in editions of 1977 and 2005 of Graal Théatre, opted for a rewriting where contradictory representations of the myth coexist. These modern dramas, where the representation of the Grail is at the center of the writing experience, are thus in direct connection with medieval works. They are part of a redefinition of the object that has constantly renewed itself since Chrétien de Troyes’ Conte du Graal. In all three cases, the representation of the Grail shows conflicting relationships with the medieval Arthurian literary heritage. The main hypothesis of this research lies in the idea that rewriting has to do with the transformation of a legacy. More specifically, it comes to understand how the representation of the Holy Grail is dealt with in modern dramas, how it is modulated by the authors in rhetorical, stylistic and dramaturgical terms. The use of parody, anachronisms and new dramatic voices, for example, allows modern authors to revisit and change their relation to this object. The Grail is thus redefined in different historical contexts and in a genre quite distinct from medieval romances.

Full textThis MA thesis introduces results of a research which is analysing links between the medieval Bible and the Grail novels written during the 13th century. For that purpose, we had recourse to biblical paraphrases and translations in prose written in old French as a secondary corpus. This dissertation is divided in three chapters. The first chapter introduces the main and secondary corpuses by putting them into context. This chapter also deals with the Bible in the Middle Ages, that is to say with its status and with its diffusion in the society. The following chapter analyses the biblical rewritings found in the corpus by dealing with the questions of allegory and exegesis, mainly in the Legend of the Tree of Life. Finally, the third chapter studies the writing of the dream as a common process of writing found in the Bible and taken back by the Grail novels. In the end, medieval authors took back not only the tales of the Bible, but also its writing processes. The study of this dynamic of resumption also allows demonstrating how texts incorporate biblical material in the specific development of romance, a literary genre in emergence at that time.

Find full textThis study presents a new reading of the Perlesvaus, an anonymous thirteenth-century Old French Grail romance bizarrely structured around an Arthurian restaging of the battle between the Old and the New Law. I construe this hyper-violent, phantasmagorical text as a profoundly significant work of “trauma fiction” encoding a hitherto-unrecognized crisis of religious ethics and identity in Western Europe in the first half of the thirteenth century. Combining literary and historical analysis and drawing on current trends in trauma studies, I tie what I term the “deranged discourse” of the Perlesvaus to the brutal onset of internal crusading in southern France (the papal-sponsored Albigensian Crusade, 1209-29), making the case that the collective trauma staged in its narrative perturbations was a contributing factor in the well-documented worsening of Western European antisemitism during this period. One key analytical construct I develop is the “doppelganger Jew”—personified in the Perlesvaus by its schizoid authority figure, Josephus, a conflation of first Christian priest and first-century Romano-Jewish historian—who functions as an uncanny embodiment of powerful, unacknowledged fears that Christians were losing their spiritual moorings and reverting into reviled, scapegoated Jews. Traces of this collective trauma are explored in other contemporary texts, and one chapter examines how the fourteenth-century Book of John Mandeville revives similar fears of collapsing Judeo-Christian identity and unfolds under the sign of the doppelganger Jew.

Full textSince the turn of the XIIIth century, writers take up the idea of a quest for the Holy Grail, already developed by Chrétien de Troyes in the Conte du Graal. The authors saw in the Holy Grail a great chance to elucidate an ecclesiastical ideology. The first proses of the Holy Grail then present a new way of exposing certain ideals of knighthood through religious convictions. From a socio-historical approach, we initially looked at the figure of King Arthur, who is impossible to circumvent. King Arthur’s behavior is the cause of the search for the Holy Grail. More particularly, this research ponders the question of why the knight’s social position tends to rise above that of the King’s. From the various royal functions to the nature and the goal of the chivalric adventures, we observe why and how the authors of the first proses of the Holy Grail tried to adapt the chivalric ideology to the ecclesiastical one. It appears that the influence of the political discourses from this medieval period will have played a major part in this new approach to knighthood.

Full textThe Continuations of Chrétien de Troyes' Conte du Graal are a group of texts that has for long obfuscated critics of medieval French literature. The type of narrative coherence emerging from these texts is quite different from the type we associate with the texts of the master from Champagne. However, these texts are interesting because the complexity of their textual relationships can allow us to better understand issues pertaining to literary creation in the medieval era. Not exactly a cyclical type of text nor a literary genre in itself, continuation, in particular for the Continuations of the Conte du Graal, contains traces of its status as an experimental practice. The Continuations of the Conte du Graal thus occupy a moment of transition in the evolution of romance forms in the high medieval period. Each continuator shapes, with the help of the first person, the specific form he intends to give to his tale and steers the reception of his reader in a specific direction. The practice of continuation allows these authors to find a tool for experimenting with the multiple modalities of romance as a genre, which explains the strong heterogeneity, at times disconcerting, found within this group of texts. This master's thesis starts with an exploration of the genre situation of the Continuations of the Conte du Graal. It is followed by a detailed statistical analysis of the use of the first person in the narration of these texts. The final chapter proposes a general interpretative essay of the texts that makes use of the conclusions drawn from the two preliminary steps of this study.
