Né aux alentours de 1120, surnommé le «Docteur universel», Alain de Lille doit ce titre à ses talents de philosophe, de théologien, de prédicateur et de poète, ainsi qu’à l’étendue de ses connaissances. Celui dont l’épitaphe dit qu’«il a su tout ce que l’homme pouvait savoir» est à lui seul un résumé des intérêts multiples de son temps. Sa pensée est le point de rencontre des grands courants philosophico-théologiques du XIIe siècle; au fait des dernières avancées techniques dans les arts libéraux, il demeure en même temps un parfait témoin de l’humanisme littéraire. A l’occasion du huitième centenaire de sa mort, il était nécessaire de réexplorer la synthèse qu’a opérée Alain des savoirs de cette époque charnière, et de rappeler les pistes et les problématiques qu’il a ouvertes, peu avant le grand essor universitaire du XIIIe siècle.

Reprenant l'édition de ces lettres anonymes, Françoise Hudry nous propose, au terme d'une minutieuse enquête, de les attribuer à Alain de Lille, ce qui rendrait compte également de l'ancienne identification de celui-ci avec Alain de Canterbury qui fut ensuite abbé de Tewkesburry. Ainsi, interprétées, par une analyse à la fois historique et culturelle, ces lettres contribuent à redessiner une partie de l'histoire culturelle du XIIe siècle : elles élucident des pans d'ombre de la biographie d'Alain de Lille, précisent ses liens avec Pierre de Blois ou Richard de Saint-Victor, éclairent le contexte dans lequel Alain écrivit un De planctu Naturae plein d'amertume ; elles permettent également de mieux comprendre les relations entre différents textes de cette période, suggérant par exemple des rapports subtils et complexes entre la satire de Nigel de Longchamp et l'œuvre d'Alain de Lille... Le dossier est à présent entre les mains des lecteurs, avec le drame humain qu'il desssine, quel que soit le protagoniste.

This text considers how ancient and medieval commentaries on the Aeneid by Servius, Fulgentius, Bernard Silvestris, and others can give us new insights into four twelfth-century Latin epics - the Ylias by Joseph of Exeter, the Alexandreis by Walter of Chtillon, the Anticlaudianus by Alan of Lille, and the Architrenius by John of Hauville. Virgil's influence on twelfth-century Latin epic is generally thought to be limited to verbal echoes and occasional narrative episodes, but evidence is presented that more global influences have been overlooked because ancient and medieval interpretations of the Aeneid, as preserved by the commentaries, were often radically different from modern readings of the Aeneid. By explaining how to interpret the Aeneid, these commentaries directly influenced the way in which twelfth-century Latin epic imitated the Aeneid.

In this 1995 study James Simpson examines two great poems of the later medieval period, the Latin philosophical epic, Alan of Lille's Anticlaudianus (1181-3), and John Gower's English poem, The Confessio Amantis (1390-3). Simpson locates these works in a cultural context dominated by two kinds of literary humanism: the absolutist, whose philosophical mentor is Plato, whose literary model is Virgil and whose concept of the self is centred in the intellect, and the constitutionalist, whose classical models are Aristotle and Ovid and whose concept of the self resides in the mediatory power of the imagination. Both poems are examples of the Bildungsroman, in which the self reaches its fullness only by traversing an educational cursus in the related sciences of ethics, politics and cosmology, but as this study shows, there are very different modes of thought behind their conceptions of selfhood and education.
