Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Early English Romances in Verse: Done Into Modern English by Edith Rickert; Romances of Friendship This volume includes six stories in which love, war, and adventure are subordinated to an ideal of friendship; and these romances, although the last is pretty well two hundred years later than the first, show a curious continuity of ideas. In all of them friendship is a veritable passion, and the betrayal of friendship becomes for the time the supreme sin. This attitude of mind is characteristic of many old Germanic tales, and, notwithstanding examples of friendship in other literatures, seems to me peculiarly Teutonic in its intensity and the completeness with which it tends to swallow up other phases of life. In Antis and Amiloun, Athelston, and Gray-Steel, we have traces of the old Teutonic custom of sworn-brotherhood, in which a lifelong relation is deliberately entered into by two men not akin.
