In these three librettos, Philippe Quinault turns from classical
opera to medieval legends--Renaud and Armida, Amadis and Oriana,
and Angelica and Roland--exploring the tensions between love and
glory. As usual, the dramatist relates his stories deftly with
classic simplicity. In these adaptions of traditional medieval
stories of romance, enchantment, monsters, and magic, either the
heroine (Armida or Angelica) loves the hero she should hate, or the
hero falls for an enemy enchantress, and has to be rescued from her
clutches. The love "cure" is usually effected by means of magic or
through the intervention of a fairy. Great entertainment from early
French literature
