Howard Bloch, R., "Eneas before the Walls of Carthage: The Beginnings of the City and Romance in the Suburbs", French Literature Series, 29 [=Beginnings in French Literature, ed. Freeman G. Henry] (2002), 1-27.
- Resum
- Beginning from a discussion of the color of the marble of the walls of Carthage, which show how two different qualities might inhere in the same substance, this article traces the law of inherence as a structuring principle of Romance seen throughout the Roman d'Eneas in a variety of areas from that of gender difference, to the definition of love and psychic life, to the notion of what the human being can be said to be. From this widely operating principal also emanate a series of subsidiary effects involving a belief in the efficacy of the will, an emphasis upon logic and empirical observation, and renewed interest in technology and the arts. Romance, in comparison to epic, is linked to the return in the High Middle Ages of Aristotelianism with increased stress upon natural sciences, upon the relation of particulars to each other, upon dialectics and relativism. Despite the present-day resonance of Romance with the irrational (evasion, dream) and the naive, it is, in fact, a cradle of skepticism and an early avatar of the scientific spirit.
