L’optimisme du satiriste Mise en forme et en espace du texte, de l’image et de la musique dans le Roman de Fauvel interpolé (Paris, BnF, français 146)

The Roman de Fauvel, a satirical text from the first quarter of the fourteenth century, exists in two editions: the original version (1310-1314) and the interpolated version (1316-1318). The study uses analysis of the rondeau Porchier mieus estre ameroie, elements of the charivari scene, and the text’s explicit, to show that the interpolated Fauvel is enriched by a playful or even comic tone that is absent from the original text, resulting from an optimism that can be discerned in the work of the satirist.
