These are analysed in termsof subject matter and the treatment of main themes,and their patronageand background are also investigated.  This shows that Anglo-Norman romanceis characterised by a preference for historical subject matter and for  \nassociated themes and attitudes,that amour courtois and courtoisie,like thesupernatural,are restrained and modified,while themes connected withfeudalism.aregivena-prominence greater.than in comparable.continentalromance,thus apparent1y reflecting the interests of the original baronialaudiences.  \nThree groups of Middle English romances are then considered.  Thefirst consists of five romances with extant Anglo-Norman versions -Havelok,Horn,Beves,Guy and Ipomadon -and the second of three romances which haveposited Anglo-Norman originals -Athelston,Gamelyn and Richard Coeur de Lion.A comparison of these with Anglo-Norman romance indicates that Middle Englishversions are not necessarily popularisations of Anglo-Norman originals,andthat the relationship of each romance to the whole tradition of Anglo-Normanromance is important.  The thesis then considers a group of roman ces whichshare with the Anglo-Norman romances a courtly provincial milieu and  \nhistorical subject matter -the Arthurian romances of the AlliterativeRevival -and shows how they are influenced by the earlier tradition,and by Anglo-Norman attitudes to Arthurian romance.  The conclusionreached is that Anglo-Norman romance has a wider influence on a greaterproportion of Middle English romance than has previously been recognised.  \nPART ONE  \nANGLO-NORMAN ROMANCE  \nCHAPTER ONEIntroduction  \nAny study of medieval romance is inevitably beset withproblems of definition and classification,and this study willprove no exception.  However,there is one additional questionof definition which can be dealt with at the outset,and thatis of the term \"Anglo-Norman\",which is used variously for thepurposes of history,dialectology,and literary history.  Thecomplexities of the problem are not the concern of this thesis,for the purposes of which we follow the definition given by  \nM.K.Pope:²  \n\"I am taking 'Anglo-Norman'in the wide sense of theterm,to denote the traditional French spoken and writtenin Britain from the Norman Conquest on to approximatelythe last quarter of the fourteenth century,i.e.up toand including writers such as Henry,Duke of Lancasterand John Gower,whose use of French,although much morecorrect than that of many earlier writers,has still aninsular flavour.  \nThe main concern of Ang","cbCaieWBb6zqrY9M","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieWBb6zqrY9M","pdf",29689233,474,"English","# Part One: Anglo-Norman Romance\n## Chapter One: Introduction\n## Chapter Two\n## Chapter Five\n## Chapter Six\n## Chapter Seven\n## Chapter Eight\n## Chapter Nine\n## Appendix I\n## Appendix II\n# Part Two: Middle English Romance\n## Introduction\n## Conclusion","[{\"question\":\"What is the thesis primarily investigating?\",\"answer\":\"The enquiry focuses on the nature of historical romance in England and how Anglo-Norman romances relate to Middle English romances.\"},{\"question\":\"Which Anglo-Norman sources are analyzed in the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study examines Anglo-Norman material including two versions of Haveloc and romances of Horn, Beves, Boeve de Haumtone, Ipomedon, Protheselaus, Fergus, Gui de Warewic, and Fouke Fitzwarin.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the study characterize the thematic features of Anglo-Norman romance?\",\"answer\":\"It identifies a preference for historical subject matter, restrained and modified treatment of amour courtois/courtoisie and supernatural elements, and greater prominence of feudal-related themes.\"}]","Historical Romance in England - Studies in Anglo-Norman and Middle English Romance | PDF",1791243077,730]
