No references found | The majority of the essays concern medieval topics related to memory, including essays on Bernard of Clairvaux, Cistercian houses, and Chretien de Troyes. What the two acquaintances did share was a love of the tales they found in Shakespeare, Scott and Byron; in Froissart's chronicles of the Hundred Years' War; and in the twelfth-century Breton romances, leisurely Arthurian adventure stones by Chretien de Troyes. The earlier (pre-Malory) writers are drawn from many linguistic traditions: Latin (Gildas, Nennius, Geoffrey of Monmouth), French (Wace, Chretien de Troyes, Jehan Froissart), English (Layamon, the Gawain-poet, Geoffrey Chaucer), German (Hartmann von Aue, Wolfram von Eschenbach), and Italian (Giovanni Boccaccio). |
