Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Early English Romances in Verse, Done Into Modern English: Romances of Love The Medieval and the Modern Romance in Verse The great age of romance in Europe coincides with the era of cathedral-building, the inception of both being in the eleventh century, their decadence in the fifteenth. To coincidence in time, due to no mere chance, must be added likeness of spirit - the same type of mind taking visible shape in words and in stone. In each form of art we find limitless aims, aspiration untroubled by I consideration of fulfilment, gigantic ground-plans, unbridled dreams, an ordered symbolism, a wealth of subtle, curious, monstrous, exquisite detail that ranged through human experience and imagination in its substance - saints and devils, beasts physical and metaphysical, and all other things to be found in or over or under the. earth. Each in its own way is a microcosm of that splendid, barbaric, restless, dreaming, subtle-minded, coarse-bodied, all but incomprehensible Middle Age between the Old World and the New.
