Yvain; or, The Knight with the Lion
- Used Book in Good Condition
This verse translation of Yvain; or, The Knight with the Lion brings to life a fast-paced yet remarkably subtle work often considered to be the masterpiece of the twelfth-century French writer ChrÃ©tien de Troyes. The creator of the Arthurian romance as a genre, ChrÃ©tien is revealed in this work as a witty, versatile writer who mastered both the soaring flight of emotion and the devastating aside and was as skillful a debater of the finer points of love as he was a describer of battles.
