Synopsis
A scholarly deep dive into Guillaume d'Angleterre and its many medieval echoes. This study traces how a single poem and its many versions spread across languages and regions, revealing how East and West shaped a legendary tale. It explains the methods researchers use to compare texts, dates, and sources to understand how the story traveled and changed over time.
The book surveys a broad web of related works, from Latin and French versions to English and Spanish renderings. It discusses where material may have come from, how motifs like the mother’s role, the treasure plot, and the exposure of children evolved, and what these changes say about medieval storytelling. Readers will see how scholars connect different manuscripts to a common origin and how later writers reworked older material for new audiences.
- Learn how multiple medieval texts are linked through shared motifs and narrative strands.
- See how scholars deduce origins, influences, and transmission paths across languages.
- Understand how the treasure motif, the fate of children, and the mother’s role shift between versions.
- Explore how later writers adapted earlier material for chivalric and romantic tastes.
Ideal for readers of literary history and medieval studies who want a clear, research-based map of a complex poem’s lineage and its wider cultural context.

A Comparative Study of the Poem Guillaume D'angleterre (Classic Reprint)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Forgotten Books, London, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comparative study of the 12th-century Anglo-Norman poem 'Guillaume d'Angleterre', offering a reconstructed text and engaging in a thorough linguistic analysis. The author sets out to establish conclusive proof of authorship and offers an in-depth thematic examination of the poem, determining its place within a broader dialogue on the legend of St. Eustathius. The text is placed within its historical and literary context, with the author drawing parallels to other relevant historical texts, such as chronicles and romances, and situating it among other contemporary literary movements such as Roman de Renart. The author argues that the poem draws heavily from existing literary and oral traditions, not only from the Guillaume legend itself, but from popular motifs such as the 'treasure theme', and that it is part of a broader literary conversation on themes such as fate, divine intervention and the role of chance. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332046515_0
