"Marie de France (fl. late twelfth century) is the earliest known French woman poet and her lais - stories in verse based on Breton tales of chivalry and romance - are among the finest of the genre. Recounting the trials and tribulations of lovers, the lais inhabit a powerfully realized world where very real human protagonists act out their lives against fairy-tale elements of magical beings, potions and beasts. De France takes a subtle ..."

"A collection of 19 classic and original essays on Gawain, the hero of Arthurian legend, this casebook examines the character's evolution from the major medieval traditions, to his most recent appearances in popular culture, in modern literature and film."
"Arthurian Literature continues the policy of alternating themed issues and miscellanies. This varied collection includes studies of major Arthurian works and authors in Old French, Middle High German, Middle English, and of one important novel by C.S. Lewis. A controversial textual crux in Chretien's Yvain, debated vigorously by scholars in the late 1980s, is revisited, while the narrative function of clothing in Chretien's romances com ..."
"There are very few books still available, if any, critiquing films from the major low-budget companies of the 20th century. This book does just that, emphasizing on 1970's and 1980's films, the ones that were sort of the "misfits". What you will find in this piece of work is the deepness of each film, something that is not always expressed in public reviews today. You'll see the symbolism and metaphor about each film, and what it really ..."

"The court exercised an enormous amount of influence on the culture of the middle ages, as the essays collected here demonstrate. They examine a wide variety of different areas of medieval courtly culture, from the history of the book through courtly music to the theory of courtesy and courtly love. While some authors deal with the central texts of courtly literature, such as Castiglione's "Book of the Courtier", "Marie de France's Lais" ..."
