Dans Garin de Monglane, nous avons affaire à une société fourmillante : artisans, hommes du peuple et couches populaires constituent une vaste fresque composite qui incarne diverses idéologies. Si la chanson contient nombre de massacres ignobles et terrifiants, le pittoresque du récit repose sur de séduisants contrastes et un véritable mélange des genres : parodies de références traditionnelles ; énormités titanesques et ironie ; associations entre monstruosité et délicatesse ; situations inédites qui pourraient être scabreuses ; extraits romanesques ; mises en scène aux accents fantastiques. La narration surprend tantôt par l'originalité, tantôt par l'artifice et le piment. Plus que par le passé, la vie intérieure des protagonistes est connue grâce aux analyses du narrateur, mais davantage par des monologues intérieurs aux caractéristiques variées. Malgré de regrettables longueurs, la chanson de Garin de Monglane est animée par un souffle nouveau qui n'est pas dénué d'attraits.

This is a study of four colossal medieval works - the Cycle de Guillaume d'Orange, the Vulgate Cycle, the Prose Tristan and the Roman de Renart - which are normally considered separately. By placing them side-by-side for analysis, Luke Sunderland is able to argue for an aesthetic of cyclicity that cuts across genre. He combines detailed readings of the narrative infrastructure of each cycle with attention to the shifts and transformations that come with successive acts of rewriting.
Old French Narrative Cycles focuses in particular on revisions and controversies around heroic figures, arguing that competition between alternative heroes within these texts makes them a discourse on heroism. Using a theoretical framework deriving from Lacanian psychoanalysis, the study reveals anxieties surrounding the hero's relationship to the "good": the hero oscillates between support for moral ideals and subversive assertions of freedom that can lead to evil and death. Ultimately, it is contended that the instability of the hero as conduit for morality produces textual confusion and generates the myriad differing versions of these vast and perplexing works.

LUKE SUNDERLAND is Lecturer in the School of Modern Languages and Cultures, University of Durham.
