Paperback. Condition: Sehr gut. XXXIII, 131 p. Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar ohne Anstreichungen / a good and clean copy without markings. - The transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance has been discussed since the 1940s as a shift from a Latinate culture to one based on a vernacular language, and, since the 1960s, as a shift from orality to literacy. From Topic to Tale focuses on this multifaceted transition, but it poses the problem in different terms: it shows how a rhetorical tradition was transformed into a textual one, and ends ultimately in a discussion of the relationship between discourse and society. The rise of French vernacular literacy in the twelfth century coincided with the emergence of logic as a powerful instrument of the human mind. With logic came a new concern for narrative coherence and form, a concern exemplified by the work of Chrétien de Troyes. Many brilliant poetic achievements crystallized in the narrative art of Chrétien, establishing an enduring tradition of literary technique for all of Europe. Eugene Vance explores the intellectual context of Chrétien's vernacular literacy, and in particular, the interaction between the three "arts of language" (grammar, logic, and rhetoric) comprising the trivium. Until Vance, few critics have studied the contribution of logic to Chrétien's poetics, nor have they assessed the ethical bond between rationalism and the new heroic code of romance. Vance takes Chrétien de Troyes' great romance, Yvain, ou Ie chevalier au lion, as the centerpiece of the Twelfth-Century Renaissance. It is also central to his own thesis, which shows how Chrétien forged a bold new vision of humans as social beings situated between beasts and angels and promulgated the symbolic powers of language, money, and heraldic art to regulate the effects of human desire. Vance's reading of the Yvain contributes not only to the intellectual history of the Middle Ages, but also to the continuing dialogue between contemporary critical theory and medieval culture. / Contents Acknowledgments Foreword: In Memoriam by Wlad Godzich Introduction 1.
