Fierabras and Floripas - A French Epic Allegory (Paperback)

Fierabras and Floripas relates the tale of two Saracen siblings who join forces with Charlemagne and his Peers. It was the most successful French epic tale - or chanson de geste - among audiences in medieval England, not excluding the great Song of Roland, with which it shares much of the dynamism of their oral-based genre. Its expansive narrative explores both the limits of epic battle description and the usefulness of allegory to explore moral and spiritual issues.Two separate but successively performed original compositions, La Destruction de Rome and Fierabras are translated here.
