Longtemps considéré comme un simple épigone de Chrétien de Troyes, Raoul de Houdenc est l’auteur d’une œuvre dense et variée, qui se décline en deux versants : romans arthuriens et récits allégoriques, tous écrits entre 1200 et 1235 environ. Les études ici réunies reviennent sur ce jugement et montrent que, bien qu’il ait écrit après le « maître champenois », Raoul a joui tout au long du Moyen Âge et jusqu’au xvie siècle d’une renommée qui n’avait rien à envier à Chrétien. Paradoxalement, son œuvre est à la fois drôle et désabusée. Drôle parce que Raoul maîtrise à la perfection l’art de la parodie burlesque, du contre-pied et de l’inattendu. Désabusée, car de son œuvre se dégage une nostalgie pour le temps passé et révolu de la courtoisie, définitivement supplantée par l’appât du gain et l’égoïsme de ses contemporains. De ce paradoxe naît une jouissive verve satirique, un plaisir de la fiction utile, qui apportent une compensation, ou du moins une consolation, en ces temps mauvais que faute de pouvoir contrer, on tient dans une distance joyeuse. Raoul propose ainsi des routes nouveles à la fiction qui, si elle doit beaucoup aux prédécesseurs de Raoul – à commencer par Chrétien –,se donne comme utile et plaisante, et rejette l’accusation de vanité dont, dès le tournant du xiiie siècle, fut accusé le roman. Les œuvres ici explorées sont Meraugis de Protlesguez, la Vengeance Raguidel, le Songe d’Enfer, le Roman des eles et le Dis Raoul Hosdaing.

The centuries just after the Norman Conquest are the forgotten period of English Literary History. Yet the years 1066-1300 witnessed an unparalleled ingenuity in the creation of written forms. Using an innovative theory of literary form applied to a series of detailed readings of the more important early Middle English works, Cannon shows how the many and varied texts of the period laid the foundations for the project of English Literature. - ;The centuries just after the Norman Conquest are the forgotten period of English literary history. In fact, the years 1066-1300 witnessed an unparallele

Rédigé vers 1210 le roman de Wigalois conte l’histoire du fils de Gauvain de sa naissance à son couronnement, après maintes aventures initiatiques bien ancrées dans le merveilleux de la Matière de Bretagne et où le héros affronte géant, nain, dragon et revenants… Remontant à une source française perdue dont d’autres textes attestent l’existence, Wigalois est un témoin important qui intéressera tous ceux qui travaillent sur le roman arthurien et la sécularisation des mythes ainsi que les comparatistes.

Alexander the Great of Macedon was no stranger to controversy in his own time. Conqueror of the Greek states, of Egypt and of the Persian Empire as well as many of the principalities of the Indus Valley, he nevertheless became revered as well as vilified. Was he a simply a destroyer of the ancient civilizations and religions of these regions, or was he a hero of the Persian dynasties and of Islam? The conflicting views that were taken of him in the Middle East in his own time and the centuries that followed are still reflected in the tensions that exist between east and west today. The story o

In a poststructuralist study of thirteenth-century French historical texts, Gabrielle Spiegel investigates the reasons for the rise of French vernacular prose historiography at this particular time. She argues that the vernacular prose histories that have until now been regarded as royalist were actually products of the aristocracy, reflecting its anxiety as it faced social and economic change and political threats from the monarchy.
