OverviewThe medieval novel de Silence tells the story of a girl who is brought up as a boy far from courtesy and takes on a number of male roles: she becomes a playman, warrior and knight, with which she even attracts the Queen's desire. Above all, Silence is the bone of contention between the allegories Nature and Noreture, who want to demonstrate their superiority over each other in Silence's gender identity. Her sexuality is just one aspect of the fascinating figure Silence, which itself carries allegorical traits. With its diverse themes, the text invites you to include it in discussions about personification/allegory, voice/language/silence, nature/culture, emotion theory, writing and media theory as well as historical narrative. The ten essays in the volume open up the Old French novel for the first time to a German-speaking audience.
