University of Oklahoma Ph.D. French Literature, 2001 Specialization in Medieval French Literature Co-Directors: Drs. Keith Busby and Pamela Genova Dissertation: In my text, "A Comparative Study of the Three French Versions in Verse of Barlaam et et Josaphaz," I examine the versions of Gui de Cambrai, the Anglo-Norman poet Chardri, and the anonymous author in turn, analyzing their relation to the source material, detailing their salient themes, and exploring the language employed in an attempt to ascertain whether the story truly falls under the rubric of Hagiography or should be more properly considered as a Romance. |
