Talk:Aucassin and Nicolette

Proto-feminism
I removed the part about Nicolette being seen as a proto-feminist. This work is a parody of Old French Romance literature and so reverses roles of men/women for the purpose of satire, sort of like men who dress up as women for a laugh. No doubt some modern "critics" have said she is a "proto feminist" for taking on traditionally male-like qualities, but it says more about politicizing a 13th C work to fit 20th century needs, than a valid interpretation of the work - so you'll need to provide names and citations to back up who said it and where.
