Gender, Romance, Women, Mythology, PatriarchyAbstract
The article proposes a theoretical and methodological survey, as well as a historiographic one, of three elements that permeate the content of the myth of Tristan and Isolde. The first seeks to analyze the meaning of the term gender, as an analytical tool to the idea of “medieval woman”; the second aims to discuss the understanding and the dissemination of myths during antiquity and the middle ages. Finally, the interpretation formulated by Jean Markale in La Femme Celte will be addressed: supported by the theory of the existence of prehistoric gynecocratic societies, the mythologist analyses the character Isolde and identifies it with feminine aspects from celtic societies. We will discuss, therefore, the importance of these three elements for a deeper knowledge of the Tristanic myth, a narrative based on assumptions prior to the Middle Ages, the time of its (re) emergence.
