Abstract
Abstract:This article considers the role genre expectations have played in shaping the process by which the medieval Latin folktale of the swan children, Cygni, was translated and adapted first into different Old French versions and then into the Middle English prose romance Chevalere Assigne. I argue that the differences in characterization, plot, and tone between the French and English versions should be read as completing the transformation of the narrative from its original folktale form into the form of a chivalric romance.
