Il motivo del “manoscritto genetico” nei romanzi arturiani francesi in versi (1150-1250 ca.) / 2-3

Abstract

In the first part of our work studies related to the literary theme of the “genetic manuscript” were carried out, now in the second, we will proceed with the analysis of the corpus. There are twenty pieces, organized in four paragraphs and arranged in chronological order (from the middle of the twelfth century to the middle of the thirteenth century) which narrate in French verse the Arthurian legends: from the birth of roman, to the works of Chrétien de Troyes, up to the “post-Chrétien” verses and other contemporary works. This analysis gives us the opportunity of putting forward certain considerations regarding the nature and the cultural aspect of the literary theme studied by us.
