    Lydgate and the <i>Roman Antique</i>

    Full text link
    The obsession with Lydgate's style, according to Derek Pearsall, "is endless, and to some extent self-sufficient, for there is no other poet in whom 'style' becomes so nearly an end in itself, a fixed entity, whose relation to 'subject' is one of abstract congruence not expressive embodiment." For John Ganim Lydgate's "often prolix narrative style . . . can be understood as part of a process of literary history that begins to include an audience broader than the court or monastery. His style comes about from a union of the perspectives of the court and the cloister; . . . his creation of a voice that could speak to prince and merchant on the same level." This paper focusses on the relation of narrative and moral generalization in The Siege of Thebes and suggests that it springs from a elaboration of elements in the tradition of the roman antique and, in particular, the recovery and assimilation of Le Roman de Thébes into the prose text of the Histoire ancienne jusqu'a Cesar, the earliest ancient history written in Old French. </jats:p
