In medieval mentality the world is viewed in a dichotomous fashion, the prototypical case being the pervasive axiologically-loaded opposition between the sacred and the profane. This mental structure, also reflected in the literature of the period, is characterized by the chronotope: the unbreakable bond of space and time, in which literary plotsareset. The chronotope is not mere decorum but participates, on a par with the plot and the characters, in the construction of the meaning and didactic message of a given literary work. This is especially conspicuousin its basic component: space. A tone extreme of the axis there is the space of culture: the court, the human abode, etc. It is being idealized –it is utopian, where as the world of wild life is hostile, dangerous and dystopian. However, when the opposition is embedded in the context of a specific genreorind ividual work, an axiological reversal of space may ensue. This is particularly relevant in courtly literature, whose plots are strictly connected with travelling, i.e. progression through space, tantamount to progression along the axiological scale.
