But these opinions, although held by a minority of those who have approached the question, deserve attention.

Download or read book Estoire des Engleis written by Geffrei Gaimar and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-07-09 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geffrei Gaimar's Estoire des Engleis is the oldest surviving example of historiography in the French vernacular. It was written in Lincolnshire c.1136-37 and is, in large part, an Anglo-Norman verse adaptation of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. Its narrative covers the period from the sixth century until the death of the Conqueror's son William Rufus in 1100. This is an important text in historiographic terms, less as an historical source than as an early example of informative literature written in a secular perspective for a predominantly baronial audience. It illustrates the multilingualism and multiculturalism of twelfth-century Anglo-Norman Britain, and shows the descendants of the Norman conquerors seeking to integrate themselves culturally into their adoptive homeland during the 1130s. It also ranks among the earliest extant witnesses of the rise of courtly literature in French, and of named female literary patronage. This edition offers a critical text of one of the chronicle's four extant manuscripts. There is an introduction placing the poem in its social and literary contexts, followed by the medieval text, edited according to critical interventionist principles and comprising 6532 rhyming octosyllables. A facing modern English prose translation, the first concern of which is accuracy, aims also to convey the tone and style of the original rather than provide a strictly literal rendering of it. The extensive explanatory notes to the text are followed by a bibliography and a complete index of place and personal names.

Book The Faces of Time

Download or read book The Faces of Time written by Jean Blacker and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twelfth century witnessed the sudden appearance and virtual disappearance of an important literary genre—the Old French verse chronicle. These poetic histories of the British kings, which today are treated as fiction, were written contemporaneously with Latin prose narratives, which are regarded as historical accounts. In this pathfinding study, however, Jean Blacker asserts that twelfth-century authors and readers viewed both genres as factual history. Blacker examines four Old French verse chronicles—Gaimar's Estoire des Engleis(c. 1135), Wace'sRoman de Brut(c. 1155) andRoman de Rou(c. 1160–1174), and Benoît de Sainte-Maure'sChronique des Ducs de Normandie(c. 1174–1180) and four Latin narratives—William of Malmesbury'sGesta Regum(c. 1118–1143) andHistoria Novella(c. 1140–1143), Orderic Vitalis'sHistoria Ecclesiastica(c. 1118–1140), and Geoffrey of Monmouth'sHistoria Regum Britanniae (c. 1138). She compares their similarity in three areas—the authors' stated intentions, their methods of characterization and narrative development, and the possible influences of patronage and audience expectation on the presentation of characters and events. This exploration reveals remarkable similarity among the texts, including their idealization of historical and even legendary figures, such as King Arthur. It opens fruitful lines of inquiry into the role these writers played in the creation of the Anglo-Norman regnum and suggests that the Old French verse chronicles filled political, psychic, and aesthetic needs unaddressed by Latin historical writing of the period.
