A critical edition of the 1540 version of the Chastelaine de Vergi story. Like the original 13th-century text, this verse telling sets out to teach the lesson that love stories are best kept secret.
As well as having similarities with both the 13th-century version and the late prose version, the text also exhibits some interesting differences. The introduction to this edition will provide a comparative study of the different versions and an in-depth look at the section of the text that is based on extracts from the Roman de la Rose.
Jean-François Kosta-Théfaine works with fourteenth- and fifteenth-century French literature and is associate researcher at the Centre d’Etudes des Textes Médiévaux at Université de Rennes 2
