Before tackling our subject, kinship links in Renart the Nouvel, here are some preliminary considerations. The object of our study is a novel of about eight thousand verses, completed by the Lille Jacquemart Giélée in 1289. Although it can be considered, subject to a few reservations, as a continuation of Roman de Renart, it can - and must even - in some cases, be read and interpreted independently of the pretext. The main difference between the two works lies in the allegorical character of Renart the news which makes us hesitate to qualify its protagonists as animals, even when they are homonyms of those of Renart's novel. As we can not summarize here the action of the work , w remind those who know it little or completely ignore it, whether it is about the evergrowing influence of Renart who, having become the embodiment of evil and despite the opposition of the noble king, ends up extending his power over the whole universe. - [Author]
