Resumen de Le meneur de louves: reescritura de Histoire Ecclesiastique des Francs
- español
Rachilde, prolífica escritora francesa que desarrolló su carrera literaria durante las últimas décadas del siglo XIX y la primera mitad del siglo XX, publica en 1905 Le Meneur de louves. Catalogada por la crítica como novela histórica, el argumen- to que compone dicha novela es una reescritura de Histoire ecclésiastique des Francs de Grégoire de Tours, concretamente del libro IX al XX del Tomo II. La reescritura es una técnica muy recurrente en la escritora decadente, y en dicha novela, resulta un tanto peculiar debido a la constante presencia del hipotexto en el hipertexto. A pesar de guardar cierta fidelidad a la versión original, Rachilde adapta el argumento siguiendo los patrones de la Decadencia de final de siglo.

Rachilde, a prolific French author writing during the last decades of the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th century, published Le Meneur de louves in 1905. Although it was considered a historical novel by critics, its plot is a reworking of books nine to twenty of Volume 2 of the French translation (Histoire ecclésiastique des Francs) of the Historia Francorum by Gregory of Tours. Reworking of earlier texts is a technique frequently used by Rachilde, and in this novel this technique is very evident as a result of the constant presence of the hypotext in the hypertext. Rachilde is also regarded as a Decadent writer, and despite preserving some of the features of the source text, she adapts the plot by incorporating characteristics of the Decadence movement of the late 19th century.
