Type de matériel :
TexteLangue : français Détails de publication : 2022.
Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : The questions of enclosure and claustration are crucial and closely linked to one another in the Voir Dit by Guillaume de Machaut. The text, in which roundels proliferate and the Wheel of Fortune dictates the narrative, also includes a number of scenes in which confinement is thematized: the enclosure of objects, such as the portrait of Toute-Belle, the confinement of the lovers in their rooms or in the inn at the Foire du Lendit, the threat of seizure by the Grandes Compagnies, finally diverted by means of the allegory. All that the Voir Dit metaphorizes ultimately is the potential that literature has to enclose the ultimate secret of the lovers.
