French Mediaeval Romances from the Lays of Marie de France

Book cover
Short, narrative poems by a twelfth century poet French poet, the earliest known woman poet of France, Marie de France. These verses generally focus on glorifying the concept of courtly love through the adventures of their main characters, sufferings of lovers who struggle, often unsuccessfully, against social constraints. Her romantic and magical themes, written between 1160 and 1178, may have inspired the musical lais of the later troubadours. One of the great works of Medieval literature.
