The article deals with the issue of the space representation in Roman de Renart. The author proposes a hypothesis of a three-part space model in the given Roman, which consists of the forest, the plain and the human space. in this model the forest and the human space are opposed to each other with the plain lying between them. This opposition is based on the contrast of human and animal, cultivated and savage. in this article some aspects of this space model are revealed, e.g. symbolical meanings of space and its sometimes parody nature, very pertinent to the field of animal epopee. The conclusion is made about an “inverse” character of the space in the Roman de Renart. - [Abstract]
