Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the considerable influence Ovidâs works had on Chrà tien de Troyes, a French poet of the Middle Ages. By examining Chrà tien's literary development, the author argues that Chrà tien's infatuation with Ovid marked a turning point in his literary career. The author examines evidence of Ovid's influence on Chrà tien's conception of love. This influence is particularly evident in the love situations of Chrà tien's works, with the exception of *Erec et Enide* and *Guillaume dâAngleterre*. The author shows how the influence of Ovid on Chrà tien's work establishes a clear chronological order of Chrà tien's works, with the Ovidiana following *Erec*. The author goes on to discuss other similarities between Ovid's and Chrà tien's writings, including the treatment of such themes as tyranny of love, imperious and humiliating treatment by the loved lady, abject obedience on the part of the lover, and extreme mental absorption that leads to madness. This book will be of interest to scholars of medieval literature, particularly those interested in Chrà tien de Troyes and the influence of classical literature on medieval romance.
