Resumen de Les 'Enfances Guillaume' dans le "Roman de Guillaume d’Orange": distinction, délicatesse, finesse d’esprit
The Roman de Guillaume d’Orange most often frees itself from any specific influence coming from the songs contained in the Cycle: this is particularly true in the chapters corresponding to the Enfances Guillaume. The reworking makes ample room for interior life and new traits closely tied to the conception of a refined society. Our objective is to examine the rewriting for its own sake: inspiration and mentalities, the influence of contemporary mores, the conception of characters and the romance universe, and the tonality of the narrative, which is characterized by refinement, subtlety and finesse.
