The Knight of the Cart is the first telling of the adulterous relationship between Lancelot and Arthur's Queen Guinevere, and in The Knight with the Lion Yvain neglects his bride in his quest for greater glory. Erec and Enide explores a knight's conflict between love and honour, Cliges exalts the possibility of pure love outside marriage, while the haunting The Story of the Grail chronicles the legendary quest. Rich in symbolism, these evocative tales combine closely observed detail with fantastic adventure to create a compelling world that profoundly influenced Malory, and are the basis of the Arthurian legends we know today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePromotionele informatie\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaking the legends surrounding King Arthur and weaving in new psychological elements of personal desire and courtly manner, Chretien de Troyes fashioned a new form of medieval Romance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProductspecificaties\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuteur:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chretien de Troyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUitgever:\u003c\/strong\u003e Penguin Books Ltd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImprint:\u003c\/strong\u003e Penguin Classics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaal:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBindwijze:\u003c\/strong\u003e B-format paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVerschijningsdatum:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1991-01-31\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAantal pagina's:\u003c\/strong\u003e 528\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780140445213\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThema:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional or cultural fiction and true stories, tales and retellings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/strong\u003e FICTION \/ Fairy Tales, Folk Tales, Legends \u0026amp; Mythology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOver de auteur\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChretien de Troyes wrote in French in the second half of the twelfth century.
