L’Éros sauvage. Figures féminines de la viciation du désir. (Haut Livre du Graal, Vengeance Raguidel, Livre d’Artus)
Savage love. Arthurian damsels and viciation of desire. (Haut Livre du Graal, Vengeance Raguidel, Livre d’Artus)

Summary/Abstract: The High Book of the Grail, the Vengeance Raguidel and the Livre d’Artus include a scene in which a damsel offers a lurid inversion of desire, concerning not a knight conceived as a being, but seen as an object she possesses through death. The decapitation that she aims to make the knight undergo shows a viciation of feminine desire, which turns into a sulphureous veneration of his corporeal relic.
