Abstract

The article discusses the "Moralité de Fortune et Povreté," a late-fifteenth century poem written largely in the rondeau style that discusses poverty, misfortune, and good luck. The poem, which is included in the text, is a dramatized version of Giovanni Boccaccio's "De casibus vivorum illustrium." Topics mentioned include the poem's rhyme and meter, comparisons to other styles of poem such as the ballade, reffrain branlant, and the chanson à refrain, and how the figures of Maleur, Povreté, and Fortune are presented as humans and members of the same family. .
