| Summary: | In Figures III, Gérard Genette considers the alternation of scenes and summaries as the traditional rhythmic pattern of the novel. The article considers the possible use of Genette’s theorical system on narrative speed, for the study of the writing process and for the understanding of the reading modes of the medieval narratives. By focusing on two examples of 12th and 13th centuries verse romances (Erec and Enide by Chrétien de Troyes and Le Roman de la rose ou de Guillaume de Dole by Jean Renart), this paper offers a reflection on the role of rhythmic variation in the making of the romances’ continuity. |
