Links – subtle and strong – bring together the work of Rutebeuf and the “Roman de Renart”, despite certain appearances: did Rutebeuf not add a branch to the “Roman de Renart”, by writing “Renart the Bestourné”? Did he not constantly denounce the “Vixen” of the beggar brothers? The same lesson emerges from these texts. It is the time of false promises, the time where white hides black, where clothing conceals the beast: cruel, dangerous, lurking under human appearance, it threatens man, and emblematizes this universe dominated by hypocrisy. Through a series of studies, Jean Dufournet offers us a journey which, from Rutebeuf to Renart, reveals how poetic writing removes masks. Reflections of the evolution of a researcher's thinking, witnesses to the progress of knowledge, numerous basic articles, often scattered throughout specialized journals - sometimes becoming untraceable - are necessary for the work of the researcher, the student , from the scholar. Bringing together these fundamental texts is the aim of the “Varia” collection, by bringing together – in the form of collections of articles – the work of the most eminent specialists in a field of research and knowledge. - [Publisher]
