CHRISTIAN VALUES IN LE ROMAN DU CHÂTELAIN DE COUCI ET DE LA DAME DE FAYEL: PILGRIMAGE AND CRUSADE

Summary/Abstract: The aim of our paper is to give prominence to the presence of several Christian values,such as fasting, repentance, prayer, in an adulterous love affaire - Le Roman du Châtelainde Couci et de la Dame de Fayel – the topic of which is, at first sight, divergent from themorality of Church. We also intend to parallel the most extensive mediaeval versions ofthis affaire – namely the line-novel, written at the end of 13th century and the prose-novelwhich goes back to 15th century – in order to establish the weight of the above mentionedChristian values in the economy of each version. Precisely, we want to prove that, withinthe prose-novel, the narrative sequences where these values show up are moredeveloped than within the line-novel. Consequently, we will make an attempt to find thereasons of this extension.
