Composed in French in twelfth-century England, these twelve brief
verse narratives center on the joys, sorrows, and complications of
love affairs in a context that blends the courtly culture of
tournaments and hunting and otherworldly elements such as
self-steering boats, shape-shifting lovers, and talking animals.
Popular with readers across countries and languages since their
composition, the Lais have made their author, Marie, one of the
most famous women writers of the Middle Ages, renowned for her
brilliant use of language and cultural allusion as well as her keen
eye for human behavior. This new edition provides a complete
facing-page edition with the original text alongside a new modern
English translation.
