The Knight of the Cart is the first telling of the adulterous relationship between Lancelot and Arthur's Queen Guinevere, and in The Knight with the Lion Yvain neglects his bride in his quest for greater glory. Erec and Enide explores a knight's conflict between love and honour, Cligés exalts the possibility of pure love outside marriage, while the haunting The Story of the Grail chronicles the legendary quest. Rich in symbolism, these evocative tales combine closely observed detail with fantastic adventure to create a compelling world that profoundly influenced Malory, and are the basis of the Arthurian legends we know today.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBTranslator: William Kibler, Carleton CarrollContributor: William Kibler (Translated by), Carleton Carroll (Translated by), William Kibler (Introduction by), William Kibler (Notes by)Genre: Literary CriticismTopic: Fantasy, Poetry & Drama, Fiction, Language & ReferenceAuthor: Chrétien de TroyesRelease Year: 1991 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
