Book excerpt: Excerpt from Feudal France in the French Epic: A Study of Feudal French Institutions in History and Poetry On the other hand, the C liges of Chretien de Troyes, for example, written about 1170, and similar works of the end of the twelfth and beginning of the thirteenth century, show the epic in the last stages of its progression. The C lige's is one of those poems termed Court Epics, by reason of their treatment of material of Knighthood and Chivalry, in the style that re sulted (i) from the high development of aristocratic social life at the royal court, (2) from the consequent elevation of women, and (3) from the in uence of audiences that de lighted ih fantastic depiction.

This book was released on 2016-09-02 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the INTRODUCTION - French Epic Poetry. At the outset of this study it is desirable to make a definite analysis of the meaning of the term French Epic Poetry and what part of this corpus is to be styled Feudal Poetry. In a large sense almost all narrative works in verse composed prior to the fourteenth century, and dealing even remotely with life in France, are known as the French Epic. The designation covers a long period of composition, and a wide variety of material and treatment. It includes the Chanson de Roland of the primitive period, and at the other extreme of age and style the Cligés and similar works of Chrétien de Troyes. The age of the first production of epic poetry in France has long been a question of dispute. Almost as many answers have been given as there are scholars in the field. Gaston Paris and Gautier have supported the theory of the origin of the epic poetry in the cantilènes, i.e., short songs that were first composed on the field of battle by the warriors, who were also poets-these songs at some less remote time being developed into the chansons de geste as they are preserved in the manuscripts of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Rajna, Gröber, and Jordan, have maintained that the chansons are direct continuations of ancient chansons composed, in form similar to those extant, as early as the sixth and seventh centuries. Suchier, Wechssler (also Paul Meyer and Ferdinand Lot), have upheld the opinion that the epic material existed in the remote Middle Ages in the form of legends upon which were based the chansons, less ancient in formation than the legends. Finally, Becker (and Jullian) and Bédier, in the last decade or two, have attempted to demonstrate that the French epic poetry is of comparatively recent origin.

Download or read book Heroines of the French Epic written by and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2014 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The epic tales of medieval France, called chansons de geste, or "songs of deeds", provided the chief means of cultural and imaginative expression in the French language for over one hundred and fifty years (c.1100-1250), during one of the most significant periods of social change in the history of Western civilisation. Yet they remain largely unknown to most English-speaking readers of the twenty-first century. In Heroes of the Old French Epic (Boydell, 2005) Michael Newth translated a selection of the traditional militaristic narratives dominated by male heroes. This oral-based epic genre was increasingly influenced by the ethos of romance, and the present volumeoffers full English verse translations of six more of these songs, each chosen this time to illustrate the range of roles gradually accorded to women in these originally militaristic narratives. Four key narrative roles have beenselected - woman as helpmeet, woman as lover, woman as victim, and woman as spiritual model - in order to illustrate some major changes in the social status of women that took place during the period of this popular genre's existence. These poems are a key witness to the final stages of the chansons de geste before they were overtaken by the new fashion for the fictions of courtly romance. Apart from "The Capture of Orange", which has never been translated into modern English verse, none of the poems have yet appeared in English translation.

Download or read book The Song of Roland written by W. S. Merwin and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2011-04-20 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A contemporary prose rendering of the great medieval French epic, The Song of Roland is as canonical and significant as the Anglo-Saxon Beowulf. It extols the chivalric ideals in the France of Charlemagne through the exploits of Charlemagne's nephew, the warrior Roland, who fights bravely to his death in a legendary battle. Against the bloody backdrop of the struggle between Christianity and Islam, The Song of Roland remains a vivid portrayal of medieval life, knightly adventure, and feudal politics. The first great literary works of a culture are its epic chronicles, those that create simple hero-figures about whom the imagination of a nation can crystallize, observed V. S. Pritchett. The Song of Roland is animated by the crusading spirit and fortified by national and religious propaganda. This edition features W. S. Merwin's glowing, lyrical translation.

Download or read book The Protean Text written by Kimberlee Anne Campbell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-26 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1988, The Protean Text looks at the shifting evolution of medieval texts and how changing social and aesthetic values were depicted in the literature of the period. The book examines how this was reflected in the reworking and rewriting of texts - a common practice in medieval literature - as various groups adapted existing legends to their own socio-aesthetic needs. Such textual fluidity often resulted in a proliferation of versions. This tendency to experience the text in protean terms is intrinsic to medieval literary expression. This book uses the legend of "Doon and Olive", to discuss the protean text, and uses the diverse series of extant versions available, to enhance our understanding of the possibilities of literary shift and modulation through this period.
