Ds Gaulle honored QUEBEC CITY (UPIl — De scendants of the first French settlers of Canada have given French President De Gaulle a demonstration seldom accorded anyone but British royalty. Thousands thronged the streets of Quebec City, chanting "Vive De Gaulle" and "Vive La France." Manuscript... (Contfnuei from page 1) thought he was paying homage to the emperor. Ainieri tells Gi rart of this outrage. Girart de mands that the queen’s foot be cut off. Charlemagne leads an expedition against Girart’s city and promises the city to Roland. Roland, meanwhile, has met and fallen in love with Aude, the sis ter of Olivier. Seven years of fighting take place in which the same giant of Hernaut’s adventures becomes in volved. Roland finally fights Olivier in what is intended to be mortal combat. Both fall to the ground exhausted and an angel fi nally intervenes and tells them to combine forces against the in fidel. After giving the main points of the epic, Dougherty brought out some of the characteristics of the poem. He said-the entire work belonged to the William cycle. The preceding two cyles are the Charlemagne cycle, and the Feu dal Baron cycle, he explained. ‘THESE ARE the chief traits of ‘La Geste de Monglane' which justify', in my judgment, its being considered a representative poem of the William cycle,” Dougherty continued. — He stressed first the theme of loyalty that existed throughout the works toward “Garin de Monglane.” Dougherty also noted the creation of protagonists as a new type of knight; one worldly as well as pious. THE USE of Saracen maidens as heroines who desired Christian baptism and marriage exemplified the William cycle. Dougherty em phasized. “a mingling of the no bility of inspiration of the older songs with a ‘verve epique,' which at times becomes almost jest and parody.” He added that the epic included a change of emphasis to conform to the current vogue which stres sed action, rather than inner struggle. The epic also fitted into the William cycle because of its half-royal, half-feudal tone. HE STRESSED, too, the im portance of single combat in de termining the outcome of each son’s adventures and the assign ing of a major role to the gro tesque giant. The latter, Dough erty felt, was a direct imitation of a similar part of a giant in the “Song of William,” for which the cycle was named. Art's soke...
