This book explores the connections between space and narrative through an in-depth analysis of the fourteenth-century Middle English Breton lays. The work employs a range of critical approaches pertaining to the spatial turn and geocriticism and presents a nuanced account of the construction of narrative space in fourteenth-century English romance. In her study, Fanny Moghaddassi offers a theoretical reflection on the literary specificities of romance space, provides an examination of the social, political, and ideological tensions at work in its representation, and considers medieval practices of space, both from a collective and a more individual point of view.
