| Zusammenfassung: | Abstract: In 'Lanval' and 'Le Fresne', Marie de France allots women agency within designated private spaces. By doing so, she draws attention to female oppression within the public space of the male-dominated court and undermines the patriarchal social structure of the courtly system. This thesis will explore how the Middle English adaptations, 'Sir Launfal' and 'Lay le Freine', replace female autonomy exhibited in Marie works with patriarchal control. |
