Joseph Bédier fue una figura fundamental en el estudio de la literatura medieval francesa, desempeñándose como un distinguido profesor. Sus investigaciones académicas sentaron las bases para los enfoques críticos modernos de géneros como los fabliaux y las chansons de geste. Bédier desempeñó un papel crucial en la revitalización del interés por textos significativos del francés antiguo, haciéndolos accesibles a nuevas generaciones. También contribuyó a historias exhaustivas de la literatura francesa, consolidando su legado como un intérprete clave del panorama literario medieval.
The first English language translation of Bedier's classic work in nearly seventy years, this volume is the only edition that provides ancillary materials to help the reader understand the history of the legend and Bedier's method in creating his classic retelling.
Older than even the Arthurian myths, this 12th-century legend has inspired stories, songs, and artworks. This magnificent hardcover edition, featuring color illustrations on every page, blends visual impact with literary quality.
