Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Marie De France The popularity of Marie de France in her own time was due largely to the fact that she was so entirely in the drift of the literary tendencies of that day. When these had exhausted themselves, she was for centuries almost completely forgotten. During the past hundred years she has been edited, criticised and translated by French and German scholars; but her Lays, with two or three exceptions, have remained almost unknown in English. This fact is the stranger since, in addition to their vivid pictures of perhaps the most attractive period of the Middle Ages, and to a certain charm in the narration, due partly to Celtic origin, partly to Marie herself, the Lays have an element of "humanity," that is, of appeal to human experience, that seems to make them worth bringing before a wider circle of readers than those who are familiar with twelfth-century French.
