Yvain and Lancelot: two knights who face terrible trials for love. One to win back the heart of Laudine, a woman of character; the other to save Queen Guinevere, who is being held prisoner. These two works – Yvain or the Knight of the Lion and Lancelot or the Knight of the Cart – are considered among the first French novels and are inspired by the legend of the Arthurian knights. They create fascinating characters who pursue a quest between courtly love and warrior prowess, in the poetic wake of the troubadours.
