Time Lost, Time Found. The Rhythms of Memory and Speech in Le Haut Livre du Graal (Perlesvaus).
Le Haut Livre du Graal illustrates such well-known and general features in
Arthurian romances as chronological distortions and other games with narrative time.
The specific status of time in this romance will be examined at the hand
of a corpus of episodes dealing with the issue of memory and characterised by
mysteriously protracted forgetfulness and strangely sudden remembrance.
The fact once established, we will attempt an interpretation.
The starting point is the following: in this romance as in many others
(for instance those by Chrétien de Troyes) memory is connected to speech.
Perlesvaus, Gauvain, Arthur and Lancelot offer glaring instances of this
in Le Haut Livre du Graal.
Why can lost time only be apprehended in a jarring tempo through «fabulous hypertrophies»? |
