Abstract

The article analyses a special portrayal of the relationship between Merlin and Nimiane in the English fifteenth-century Prose Merlin. The power couple escapes from their previously distinct and usually dubious renditions to perform a new function that serves the nation-building of a reviving civilization. The political and religious inclinations of the anonymous author are visible in their almost impeccable conduct towards their sovereigns, God, and themselves. The article analyses the unique presentation of the two in the light of the political and social circumstances of the waning of the Middle Ages in Britain and contrasts them with a short analysis of other medieval portrayals of the couple.

梅林和尼米安——15世纪散文《梅林》的一位匿名作者所描绘的中世纪末期英国民族团结的统一力量
本文分析了15世纪英国散文《梅林》中对梅林与尼米安关系的特殊刻画。这对权力夫妇摆脱了他们以前独特且通常令人怀疑的演绎,履行了一项新的职能,为复兴文明的国家建设服务。匿名作者的政治和宗教倾向可以从他们对君主、上帝和自己近乎无可挑剔的行为中看出。本文结合英国中世纪衰落的政治和社会环境,分析了这对夫妇的独特表现,并将其与中世纪其他对这对夫妇描绘的简短分析进行了对比。
