Course contents :  Mediaeval spheres of influence

As they were copied into manuscripts, mediaeval works of literature were subject to transformations which sometimes meant complete episodes being inserted into the original work. This changed the balance and the meaning of the narrative. It is this mediaeval inventiveness, its forms, its freedom and its rules which this course will try to measure.
Several kinds of narrative works will be considered: the Arthurien novel, the epic and the fabliau. We shall examine the diverse types of distance and compare them to their re-writings in other languages (Old Norse, Middle English or Middle German).

In addition, we shall examine questions relating to editing an interpolated text.
