Title: The Legend of Roland in French-Italian Context from Medieval Knightly Epic to Renaissance Irony
Author: Velinova, Eva
Abstract: The paper deals with the ironic procedure in the XVI century Italian epic, Orlando Furioso from Lodovico Ariosto, which conditioned a transformation of the traditional legend of Roland, initially present in medieval France. This procedure contributes to the transformation of the usual way of presenting the legend of Roland, which was initially found in medieval France. Furthermore we will consider the preconditions for which comes to a change in the treatment of the legend: the social context, the genre definitions, the gender views. The change of the worldview over several centuries causes a shift of the knightly content, which translates from grandeur to farce. We want to emphasize the process of irony as self-conscious treatment of the fiction, and the madness in which falls the character Orlando as a symbol of the antimimetic literary space.
