Love, passion and death at an imperial garden
Keywords:
Tirant lo Blanch, Joanot Martorell, chivalric literature (15th century), Constantinople, female homoeroticismAbstract
Joanot Martorell’s Tirant lo Blanch developed an episode in the gardens of Constatinople’s imperial palace, which has been specially interesting for academic criticism in order to analyze historical and literary sources as well as the aesthetics of this novel. This article offers a new reading of chapters 282 to 286 through the reconsideration of the role of female homoeroticism in the plot, connected to the homosocial context in medieval Europe.
