What is French Medieval Myths Explored about?
Myth hides nothing and shows nothing: it deforms history into nature. French historical myths about figures like Clovis and Joan of Arc were created to legitimize French institutions and link the monarchy to the Church. These myths are reinterpreted and emphasized at different times to serve political purposes, such as justifying French colonialism. While they illuminate little about the actual past, myths reveal how the past is imagined and used symbolically.
