Three Arthurian Romances : Poems from Medieval France
Description
The three romances here collected-Caradoc, The Knight with the Sword, The Perilous Graveyard- are more likely to praise a knight's ability to increase his own prestige than to embody lofty values. Replete with fantastic symbols and erotic adventures, these poems unveil a world of an unexpectedly modern barbarity, populated by villains and heroes who battle evil with impure intentions.
