Abstract

The object of this article is to review critical positions with respect to La Faula by Guillem de Torroella, written around 1375. Some see the work as a political use of the Arthurian legend, the key to understanding the tale being the hope of recuperating the independence of the Kingdom of Majorca. In opposition to this, other claim that the significance of the text can only be understood by placing it within the literary tradition of the time.
