Myths and Legends of the Middle Ages

Their Origin and Influence on Literature and Art

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This classic work presents sixteen key myths and legends of the Arthurian, Carolingian, Teutonic and Scandinavian cycles which embody the chivalric code and which inspired the greatest works of romance literature and art. The tales illuminate the mystical significance of knighthood and its ethos of self-purification and honour, decoding many allusions found in medieval art, literature and song.
