"This illustrated book explores the two distinct but related themes of love and romance, comparing their verbal and visual display in the Middle Ages. A selection of extracts, translated from original texts of the troubadours' poems and chansons, are prefaced by brief plot summaries and juxtaposed with contemporary images of medieval romances - stories of knights and their adventures - such as Tristan and Isolt, Lancelot, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, the Romance of the Rose and the Chatelaine of Vergi. The author explains in an introduction the medieval fascination with the quest and its ideals of beauty and chivalry."--BOOK JACKET. |
