- Summary:
- This scholarly work by Andrea Ghidoni explores the historical poetics of the chansons de geste, a genre of medieval French epic poetry. It examines the transformation of heroic narratives into a standardized literary tradition with a Carolingian backdrop. The book delves into the evolution of poetic techniques, rhetorical formulas, and narrative structures that distinguish chansons de geste from other vernacular heroic narratives. Ghidoni proposes an innovative model for understanding the genre's formation, emphasizing the role of mutual imitation among early texts, particularly in the Loire Valley. The study integrates perspectives from Veselovskij and Bachtin on historical poetics, focusing on the interplay of form, content, and the Carolingian chronotope. Generated by AI.
