The chansons de geste in the age of romance : political fictions /

This is a major reassessment of the relation between the medieval French chansons de geste and the romance genre. Drawing on ideas from anthropology and psychoanalysis, it argues that the chansons de geste are political fictions, exploring political problems such as oppression and violence.
