The Complete Romances of Chretien de Troyes - Paperback - VERY GOOD

Description: "[A]n eminently readable text, done clearly and accurately . . . it gives as good an idea as a translation can of the complexity and subtlety of Chrétien's originals. . . . The text is provided by a translator who understands the spirit as well as the letter of the original and renders it with style. . . . [T]his translation should attract a wide audience of students and Arthurian enthusiasts." ―Speculum"[A] significant contribution to the field of medieval studies [and] a pleasure to read." ―Library Journal"These are, above all, stories of courtly love and of knights tested in their devotion to chivalric ideals (with passion and duty often at odds); but they are also thrilling wonder stories of giants, wild men, tame lions, razor-sharp bridges and visits to the Other World." ―Washington Post Book World"This tastefully produced book will be the standard general translation for many years to come." ―Choice 4 Agrace
