Abstract:

The verse-romance of Guillaume de Palerne (about 1200) first attracted critical interest because it presents a werewolf. But this text has another claim to originality: it gives an important place to dreams, in a genre in which generally, according to the romances of Antiquity and Chrétien de Troyes, that songes are nothing but mensonges. I want to develop here the idea that the presence of the werewolf and the revaluation of dreams are linked together and express a kind of "return of the repressed" in the medieval romance.
