Feminine Figures
Feminine Figures

Summary/Abstract: Florica Bodiştean’s essay is a history and a theory of the erotic couple within the heroic epics. The feminine figures cannot be (or are not meant to be) separated from the image of the hero, the two coordinates being defined within the parameters of an interrelation. The study suggests an incursion into the heroic poetry, starting with the Greek-Latin Antiquity, crossing the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Romanticism, up to the war novels of the 20th century.
