THE INVENTION OF ARTHURIAN ENTRELACEMENT AND DIAGRAMMATIC CHRONICLES.

The article focuses on the emergence of the Arthurian interlace technique (entrelacement) in early 13th-century northern France as a major innovation in narrative structure. Topics include the evolution from verse to complex prose storytelling, the role of clerical authorship and manuscript practices, and broader cultural or intellectual shifts—such as encyclopedism and narrative collectionism—that may have influenced its development.
