This work seeks to explore the cultural transformations that occur in the movement from one cultural context to another. Those transformations in turn provide evidence of the inherent differences in cultural identity among members of separate linguistic and literary communities. They also draw attention to the correlations that exist between cultural identity and other aspects of community formation, such as linguistic expression, established codes of conduct, and literary representation. This dissertation explores various texts transmitted from the Francophone domain to Middle English and Old Norse reading communities in order to foreground the facets of such cultural transmission in the late Middle Ages.

520 $a This work seeks to explore the cultural transformations that occur in the movement from one cultural context to another. Those transformations in turn provide evidence of the inherent differences in cultural identity among members of separate linguistic and literary communities. They also draw attention to the correlations that exist between cultural identity and other aspects of community formation, such as linguistic expression, established codes of conduct, and literary representation. This dissertation explores various texts transmitted from the Francophone domain to Middle English and Old Norse reading communities in order to foreground the facets of such cultural transmission in the late Middle Ages.
520 $a The study encompasses a multitude of literatures composed at different times that all share, however, a common origin in the French culture of the eleventh and twelfth centuries. It spans the twelfth through the fourteenth centuries and reaches across Northern France, England, and throughout Scandinavia. It addresses texts deriving from different locations as well as from different historical and social contexts. Moving from the pinnacle of the chanson de geste tradition, Chanson de Roland, through the compilation of Lais, customarily attributed to Marie de France, and Chretien de Troyes' narrative masterpiece, Le Chevalier au Lion (or Yvain), it explores the cultural transformations wrought upon those texts in translation, ending with the romance of Partonopeu de Blois.
520 $a The structure of the dissertation is neither linear nor geographically organized, but is based instead on a thematic development. It moves from the notion of literary imperialism, informed by post-colonial theory (chapter one) to examination of behavioral patterns (chapter two), through analysis of narrative transformations (chapter three), and ultimately to investigation of representational modifications as evidence of the intrinsic disparities in societal perceptions of gender and social structures (chapter four). The broad scope, both in terms of texts and methodology, is intended to denote the complexity of cultural transfer.
