Abstract
In Charles of Orleans‘ lyrical poetry allegory was much more than a mere stylistic device. Many personifications and avant-garde landscapes are something of an enigma to a present-day reader. The purpose of this paper is to analyse some allegorical creations reflecting the ups and downs of the poet‘s life. His introspective imagery is not always associated with the enclosed space of a jail or a besieged fortress. The poet may wander “In the forest of noyous hevynes”, or “of long awaiting” in which Fortune had compelled him to be “The man forlost that wot not where he goth”.
