According to the customary literary-historical and theoretical
notion, the fact that the first modern novel represents a parody or
travesty of the chivalric ideal merits no particular attention.
Failing to become attuned to the real role of the chivalric ideal
at the beginning of the era of the modern novel, commentators
missed the chance to adequately review the role of chivalry at the
end of that period. The modern novel did not only begin, but also
ended with a travesty of the chivalric ideal. The deep need of a
significant number of modernist writers to measure their own time
according to the ideals of the high and late Middle Ages cannot,
therefore, be explained by a set of literary-historical,
spiritual-historical or social circumstances. The predilection of a
range of twentieth century novelists for a distant feudal past
suggests that there exists a fundamental poetic connection between
the modern (or at least the modernist) novel and the ideals of
chivalry.
