Description

The Lays of Marie de France is a collection of short narrative poems by the medieval poet Marie de France, written in the 12th century. The poems tell stories of love, chivalry, and adventure, and they are notable for their exploration of human emotions, the consequences of desire, and the complexities of courtly relationships. These stories, deeply rooted in French legend, are presented in this edition alongside an introduction by Eugene Mason that provides context for the tales.
