Abstract

This thesis examines the transition from heroic epic traditions to courtly literature in the development of world literature. The study analyzes the aesthetic and ideological transformations that occurred during the Middle Ages, when the heroic ideal was enriched by the culture of chivalry and courtly values. Particular attention is given to the themes of love, loyalty, and moral virtue that became central in courtly literature. The paper also highlights the formation and significance of courtly literature in European literary history.
