A comic masterpiece of medieval French literature, Aucassin and Nicolette recounts the love story of the aristocratic but distinctly unheroic young lord Aucassin and his beloved Nicolette. Despite familial disapproval and class and ethnic differences, Nicolette's single-minded pursuit of Aucassin raises questions about gender roles and their depiction in the Middle Ages. This volume, with an introduction about the text's background, genre, and relevance to a contemporary audience, includes the thirteenth-century French text and a modern English translation on facing pages.
