Ranging from Chretien de Troyes to Shakespeare, this study proposes
that the chivalric romance is characterized by a centerless
structure, a self-conscious fictionality and a sense of irony. The
genre's form is tied to historical reality, yet represents the
archetype of imaginative literature, creating multifold fantasy
worlds which audiences inhabit in denial of their real-life social
contexts. Through irony, the romance precludes conclusive
interpretations, enjoining readers to confront the suspension of
truth in their own lives.
