This is an innovative and original exploration of the connections between Sir Gawain and the Green Knight , one of the most well-known works of medieval English literature, and the tradition of French Arthurian romance, best-known through the works of Chretien de Troyes two centuries earlier. The book compares Gawain with a wide range of French Arthurian romances, exploring their recurrent structural patterns ad motifs, their ethical orientation and the social context in which they were produced. It presents a wealth of new sources and analogues, which provide illuminating points of comparison for analysis of the self-consciousness with which the Gawain -poet handled the staple ingredients of Arthurian romance. Throughout, Ad Putter plays close attention to the ways in which the modes of representation of Arthurian romance are related to social and historical context. By revealing in the course of their romances the importance of conscience, courtliness, and self-restraint, literati such as the Gawain -poet and Chretien de Troyes helped a feudal society with an obsolete chivalric ideology adapt to the changing times.

Le comté de bennes offre une densité remarquable d’habitats à motte : deux cent trente-trois Ces demeures, considérées comme des châteaux à part entière, auraient constitué des centres de pouvoirs autonomes, et partant autant de défis à une autorité princière en ruine... L’auteur propose au contraire dans cet ouvrage de distinguer les quelques châteaux à motte de la multitude des autres sites sans grande valeur défensive et assimilables à des manoirs. Cette thèse centrale est fortement appuyée sur l’analyse de la morphologie de ces édifices et la description de leur environnement économique. Elle est corroborée par une approche plus précise du pouvoir comtal (resté très consistant) et par une meilleure définition du statut social des habitants de ces mottes, des chevaliers. La mise en place de la réforme grégorienne constitue la toile de cette multiplication des manoirs à motte, pour cette raison souvent édifiés en périphérie de paroisse. La démonstration de Michel Brand’Honneur s’appuie sur un inventaire archéologique de ces manoirs à motte et châteaux, mais aussi sur la reconstitution de nombreuses parentés de la petite et haute noblesse du Rennais. Ce croisement original des résultats de l’archéologie et des informations tirées des sources écrites permet de progresser dans l’analyse de la société chevaleresque et de son habitat. Michel BRAND’HONNEUR est docteur en histoire médiévale et membre du CRHISCO.

Because animals are neither wholly similar to, nor entirely different from, human beings, they have provided men and women with an endlessly fruitful point of departure from which to explore what it means to be human. The way in which human identity is inextricably bound up with the animal kingdom is particularly evident in medieval hagiography and romance (arguably the two most popular and prestigious genres of medieval literature), where the holiness of saints and the heroism of knights is frequently revealed through their miraculous encounters with wild beasts. Through an analysis of these literary sources, the book explores the broad range of attitudes towards animals and the natural world that were current in western Europe during the later middle ages. It argues that through their depictions of animals, medieval writers were not only able to reflect upon their own humanity, but were also able to explore the meaning of more abstract values and ideas (such as civility, sanctity and nobility) that were central to the culture of the time. Dr DAVID SALTER is a Lecturer in English at the University of Edinburgh.
