Sommario/riassunto |
|
This interdisciplinary study of word and image in the Old French chanson de geste examines the relationship between illumination and epic narrative constructed by the medieval understanding of the imagination. The study focuses on the epic cycle 'the geste of Saint Gille,' including Aiol and Elie de Saint Gille. |
