Abstract

Mandevilles Reisen (um 1370) stehen für eine Vielzahl handschriftlicher und gedruckter Überlieferungen in nahezu allen europäischen Volkssprachen und sind ein für die europäische Wahrnehmung des Fremden grundlegendes Narrativ. Aus dezidiert christlicher Perspektive beschreiben sie die Welt des späten Mittelalters und bedienen sich dabei in einer raffinierten Zusammenlesung anderer Texte des tradierten Wissens über fremde Länder, Völker, Sitten und Religionen. Die Untersuchung widmet sich der Darstellung des fremden Religiösen und analysiert, unter Berücksichtigung der Relationen zwischen der Topographie und der in ihr situierten Religionen und Rituale, die Semantisierungs-, Wertungs- und Reflexionsprozesse, über die in Handschriften und Frühdrucken das Verhältnis zwischen Fremdem und Eigenem unterschiedliche Akzente erfährt. Dabei zeigt sich erstens, dass je nach Entstehungskontext und Überlieferungsform die Textlogiken der einzelnen Versionen stark variieren, und zweitens, dass die Reisen bei weitem nicht so tolerant dem fremden Religiösen gegenüber sind, wie bisher von der Forschung angenommen wurde. Vielmehr setzen sie sich kritisch mit dem Glauben der Fremden und den Praktiken und Institutionen der eigenen Kirche auseinander.

Abstract

The fast-moving romance plot of this early thirteenth-century tale recounts the ancestry and exploits of Waldef and his two sons, set against a history of pre-Conquest England. The narrative shares themes and incident types with other important insular romances, including the Lai of Haveloc, Boeve de Haumtone, and Gui de Warewic. Waldef's scope, interest in battle, and political stratagems bear reading alongside medieval chronicles, while secret love affairs connect it with other romance literature of the period, and adventures across a wide area of the known world provide affinities with medieval travel narrative.

Abstract

Medieval romances so insistently celebrate the triumphs of heroes and the discomfiture of villains that they discourage recognition of just how morally ambiguous, antisocial or even downright sinister their protagonists can be, and, correspondingly, of just how admirable or impressive their defeated opponents often are. This tension between the heroic and the antiheroic makes a major contribution to the dramatic complexity of medieval romance, but it is not an aspect of the genre that has been frequently discussed up. Focusing on fourteen distinct characters and character-types in medieval narrative, this book illustrates the range of different ways in which the imaginative power and appeal of romance-texts often depends on contradictions implicit in the very ideal of heroism. Dr Neil Cartlidge is Lecturer in English at the University of Durham.
