Abstract

Abstract:This article considers the role genre expectations have played in shaping the process by which the medieval Latin folktale of the swan children, Cygni, was translated and adapted first into different Old French versions and then into the Middle English prose romance Chevalere Assigne. I argue that the differences in characterization, plot, and tone between the French and English versions should be read as completing the transformation of the narrative from its original folktale form into the form of a chivalric romance.

对中古英语雪佛莱派流派的适应

摘要：这篇文章考虑了类型期望在塑造中世纪拉丁民间故事天鹅孩子赛格尼的过程中所起的作用，赛格尼先是被翻译成不同的古法语版本，然后被改编成中世纪英语散文浪漫小说《切瓦利·阿涅格》。我认为，法语和英语版本在人物塑造、情节和基调上的差异应该被解读为完成了叙事从最初的民间故事形式向骑士浪漫形式的转变。
