Abstract

Many courtly fictions, thought of as a site for articulating and promulgating normative gender roles, also debated, and sometimes (temporarily) destabilized, gender identities. Just at a time when formal debates about women circulated in Latin and Old French, a number of courtly texts questioned the nexus of gender, language, and power. Marie de France’s Guigemar, the chantefable Aucassin et Nicolette, and Heldris de Cornualle’s Roman de Silence serve as illustration.
