Book Synopsis Arthurian Romances by : Chretien Troyes
Download or read book Arthurian Romances written by Chretien Troyes and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 1991-01-31 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking the legends surrounding King Arthur and weaving in new psychological elements of personal desire and courtly manner, Chrétien de Troyes fashioned a new form of medieval Romance. The Knight of the Cart is the first telling of the adulterous relationship between Lancelot and Arthur's Queen Guinevere, and in The Knight with the Lion Yvain neglects his bride in his quest for greater glory. Erec and Enide explores a knight's conflict between love and honour, Cligés exalts the possibility of pure love outside marriage, while the haunting The Story of the Grail chronicles the legendary quest. Rich in symbolism, these evocative tales combine closely observed detail with fantastic adventure to create a compelling world that profoundly influenced Malory, and are the basis of the Arthurian legends we know today.

Book Synopsis The Knight of the Two Swords by : Ross Gilbert Arthur
Download or read book The Knight of the Two Swords written by Ross Gilbert Arthur and published by Gainesville : University Press of Florida. This book was released on 1996 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The portrayal of women in this romance is particularly intriguing and should provoke animated discussions of medieval women's roles. . . . The existence of this translation should incite scholars to investigate the romance more thoroughly."--Wendy Pfeffer, University of Louisville "Arthur and Corbett are the first to look seriously at this poem for almost a century. Because of their translation, it will be studied by scholars and taught in the classroom. . . . The translation . . . is a gem. Elegant, lively, witty, eminently readable, it captures perfectly the spirit of the original."--William Calin, University of Florida The first translation into English of this 13th-century French epic poem of adventure and romance in King Arthur's court should have appeal far beyond its core reference market. It adds another--French--dimension to the Arthurian legend, and it introduces a "lost" text to a late-20th-century audience of scholars and lay readers. Some specialists in Old French may be aware of the existence of the poem but unfamiliar with its contents. The mere existence of a translation will be sufficient to provoke a spate of articles and critical studies. Li Chevaliers as deus Espees is an excellent example of the quintessential medieval European genre, the "adventure romance." It makes creative use of the set of motifs and themes common to the genre, and extends their range in a way that provokes readers to consider a variety of questions concerning the nature of medieval knighthood, the duties and privileges of knights and their lords, and the roles open to women in a feudal society. As an imaginative poem filled with scenes of medieval life, as a lively exponent of the Arthurian genre, or as reflection of the aristocratic mentality of the landed class in 13th-century France, The Knight of the Two Swords simply deserves to be better known; a reading of it will amply repay the curious student, the literary scholar, and the lover of medieval culture. In addition to its expected audience of scholars and teachers of Old French literature, this book will appeal to general readers fascinated by everything medieval or Arthurian. Ross G.
