Abstract

Abstract:

This article explores the intricate connections between motherhood and construction in the fourteenth-century French Roman de Melusine. Presine can be viewed as a model for her daughter, in that she uses physical space to exert her influence on women's networks of family and dynasty. Melusine's legacy is enacted through both prolific reproduction and construction, as she gives birth to ten sons and founds multiple castles and towns. This article argues that Jean d'Arras uses the crusader queen Melisende as another model for his heroine Melusine, indicating that motherhood and construction were connected in history as well as in literature.

Roman de Melusine》中的母性、建筑与王朝
摘要:本文探讨了十四世纪法国作品 Roman de Melusine 中母性与建筑之间错综复杂的联系。梅露辛可被视为其女儿的典范,因为她利用物理空间对妇女的家庭和王朝网络施加影响。梅露辛的遗产是通过多产和建设来实现的,她生了十个儿子,建立了多个城堡和城镇。本文认为,让-达拉斯将十字军王后梅利森德作为其女主角梅露辛的另一个原型,表明母性和建设在历史和文学中都是相互关联的。
