Journal Article
Mustrer and the Poetics of Marie de France
2010
Overview
Critics have drawn attention to Marie de France's use of the word mustrer (to show). Marie herself uses the word often in key moments across three of the works attributed to her--44 times in the Lais, 32 in the Fables, and 37 in the Espurgatoire. Here, Root looks briefly at the word itself and some of the twelfth-century contexts in which it was used. This lexical contextualization will show that Marie's use of the word puts her squarely in the clerkly, romance tradition. It will also show that she invests this verb with a poetic vision in a way that her contemporaries didn't.
