Roberts will be discussing how a close examination of the verbal contracts that control the narratives in the lays of Lanval, Graelent, Guingamor, and Sir Launfal may instead reveal that the fairies of these stories introduce to their respective poems a unique feminine ethic that critiques the traditional enactment(s) of <i>trouthe<\/i>\u00a0valued in the human court. Far from being arbitrary or illogical, the fairy mistresses of these lays establish a subtly didactic undertone to the narratives.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Content Warning:<\/strong> This talk contains brief mention of sexual assault.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This event is free and open to the public.
