Viac o knihe

The book explores the concept of medieval French literature, challenging the notion that the absence of the term "literature" during the Middle Ages invalidates its historical study. Jacqueline Cerquiglini-Toulet argues for the existence of a deep literary consciousness in that era, providing a fresh perspective on how literature was perceived and created. Through this examination, the author aims to enrich the understanding of literary practices and their significance in medieval France.
