The Lays of Marie de France by Marie de France Book Summary

The Lays or Laisof Marie de France were a series of twelve short narrative Breton lais by the poet Marie de France. They were written in Anglo-Norman and were probably composed in the late 12th century. The short, narrative poems generally focus on glorifying the concept of courtly love by the adventures of their main characters. But in translation their poetic quality has been superseded by the narrative content and it is in this form that the work is available to us today. Contents:
The Lay of Gugemar
The Lay of the Dolorous Knight
The Lay of Eliduc
The Lay of the Nightingale
The Lay of Sir Launfal
The Lay of the Two Lovers
The Lay of the Were-Wolf
The Lay of the Ash Tree
The Lay of the Honeysuckle
The Lay of Equitan
The Lay of Milon
The Lay of Yonec
The Lay of the Thorn
The Lay of Graelent
