Brabant, Holland, and Confession in the Cent Nouvelles nouvelles

Catherine Emerson

French

Research output: Contribution to a Journal (Peer & Non Peer) › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Most of the tales of the Burgundian Cent Nouvelles nouvelles have an identifiable origin in a European anecdote culture but have been repurposed with a Burgundian setting to fit the collection. Examining tales set in Holland and Brabant reveals that, while Holland is presented as 'other' from the male aristocratic society of the Burgundian ducal court, Brabant is treated as local, even where tales with similar themes are set in both regions.
