Abstract

It is a curious fact that one of the best known and loved works of French literature, the Lais of Marie de France, has given rise to relatively few studies of the entire collection. In each of the lais love is the central issue, yet few have attempted an analysis of the nature of the love presented, not because Marie's concept of love is obvious, but because the Lais present a veritable enigma. jQuery.click { event.preventDefault(); })
