French Mediaeval Romances: From the Lays of Marie de France (Classic Reprint)

I came to this book sort of through the back door. I was watching a course that I bought on the Western Canon by Harold Bloom. The professor was explaining why Marie de France was included. Even though there are many lays of Marie de France, my first intent was only to read “The Lay of the Werewolf.” Because this was in hand, I could not help but read the whole book. If the story sounds familiar, is probably because there are all sorts of Carl Jung Archetypes; by substituting names, these stories are even similar to those I read of the different Southwest United States Native Americans. For me, there is no danger in reading this book. However, the book is also used to help French students in translation. When I studied German instructor said that he also had learned German through reading and translating the classics. His first trip to Germany was very successful, and people understood what he was saying. However, a lady with a young kid pointed to him and told the kid that he spoke classic ancient German very well.
