Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Popular Epics of the Middle Ages, Vol. 1: Of the Norse-German and Carlovingian Cycles Some years ago, on the first appearance of the "Idylls of the King," I undertook to read the volume with a class at the Working Men´s College, and to preface the reading by some account of those epics of chivalry of which the ´Idylls´ are the latest and most precious outgrowth. I was acquainted with the Nibelungenlied, and knew its relation to the Edda; was tolerably familiar with both the German and the French of the twelfth or thirteenth centuries; knew something of the ´Chanson de Roland,´ and one or two of the Carlovingian poems earliest edited in the misnamed "Romans des douze Pairs," as well as of the "Tristans;" had read the Mabinogion and Sir Thomas Mallory.
