| Sumari: | The Literary Originality of the Moniage Rainouart in the Roman de Guillaume d’Orange This article attempts to define the literary originality of the Moniage Rainouart in the Roman de Guillaume d’Orange. The prose brings a calmer pace after the strict framework of the decasyllabic meter, which directed the expression of thought. The text is re-imagined, sometimes delicately, sometimes conspicuously : changes in the writing, in the conception of the characters. Shifts in meaning occur, blatant antagonisms are more reconciled, which does not remove the comedic, even satirical. Violent contrasts are toned down, the angular becomes more rounded. The desire to soften, to attenuate, is what best characterizes this re-writing : the result is greater sobriety and added nuance. The romance’s atmosphere is influenced by the period of its creation and the personality of the narrator. |
