- Title
A Model Knight: Gauvain as Objet d'art.
- Authors
Burr, Kristin L.
- Abstract
The article examines how the model knight artworks establish medieval French hero Gauvain's character in each romance, their role in the plot, and their implication about Gauvain's identity. It explores Gauvain's chivalric reputation confirming his courtliness and suggesting his attraction to a young woman by remarking on her appearance. It looks into the other characters and how their words and acts help demonstrate Gauvain's reputation in romance and provide coherence to prevent disparity.
