Romanesque is a narrative construction that romanticizes the creative literary processes of the Middle Ages, blurring the boundaries between fiction and theory. We focus on understanding how the notions of mouvance and rewriting are brought into the novel and how the author rehabilitates the art of storytelling. This staging of literary production is coupled with a central theme of medieval texts: love, which is also exposed to a metanarrative discourse. Finally, this association between the act of creation and the notion of love borrowed from the Middle Ages, echoes our contemporary society and appears as a quest for original values.
