Arthurian romances by
Chrétien(
Book
)
69 editions published between 1908 and 2019 in English and Undetermined and held by 946 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Although he didn't invent the Round Table or the tales of its fellowship, the twelfth-century poet Chrťien de Troyes was the first to recount in verse the adventures of Arthur's knights. He is also chiefly responsible for establishing the importance of the Arthurian legend in European literature and assuring its survival into modern times. This sensitive translation of Chrťien's verse narratives features four romances, including those of Erec and Enide, Cligš, Yvain, and Lancelot. Erec and Enide's tale illustrates how honor can be restored to a troubled relationship through acts of public duty. Cligš' tale involves a forbidden relationship, in which a knight falls in love with his queen-who is also his uncle's wife. The story of Yvain explores the effects of long-term absence on a questing knight's marriage. Lancelot's adventure, the rescue of Guinevere, is Chrťien's enduring contribution to the tradition of Arthurian myth. The version included is a principal source of Mallory's popular Le Morte d'Arthur. Lively and accessible, these four romances form the most complete expression of the ideals of French chivalry by a single author

The complete story of the Grail : Chrétien de Troyes' "Perceval" and its continuations by
Chrétien(
)
7 editions published between 2015 and 2018 in English and held by 465 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The mysterious and haunting 'Grail' makes its first appearance in literature in Chrétien de Troyes' 'Perceval' at the end of the twelfth century. But Chrétien never finished his poem, leaving an unresolved story and an incomplete picture of the Grail. It was, however, far too attractive an idea to leave. Not only did it inspire quite separate works; his own unfinished poem was continued and finally completed by no fewer than four other writers.0'The Complete Story of the Grail' is the first ever translation of the whole of the rich and compelling body of tales contained in Chrétien's poem and its four Continuations
