Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents an in-depth study of the evolution of character types found in medieval French epic poems. The author examines the portrayal of the king, the hero, and the traitor in three distinct periods of literary production, from the early chansons de geste to the later feudal and chivalric epics. Literary and historical analysis reveals how the king gradually cedes prominence to the hero, and the traitor emerges as a nuanced and complex figure. The author explores the interplay between national unity and feudal individualism, as well as the influence of courtly love and religious devotion on the characterization. This book offers a valuable contribution to the study of medieval literature and provides insights into the social and cultural values of the Middle Ages. By tracing the evolution of these character types, the author enriches our understanding of how literature reflects the changing landscape of medieval society.
