Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the

imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Erec and Enide marks the birth of the Arthurian romance as a
literary genre. Written circa 1170, this version of the Griselda
legend tells the story of the marriage of Erec, a handsome and
courageous Welsh prince and knight of the Round Table, and Enide,
an impoverished noblewoman. When the lovers become estranged
because Erec neglects his knightly obligations, they subsequently
ride off together on a series of adventures that culminate in their
reconciliation and the liberation of a captive knight in an
enchanted orchard. An innovative poet working during a time of
great literary creativity, Chretien de Troyes wrote poems that had
a lively pace, skillful structure, and vivid descriptive detail.
Ruth Harwood Cline re-creates for modern audiences his irony,
humor, and charm, while retaining the style and substance of the
original octosyllabic couplets. Her thorough introduction includes
discussions of courtly love and the Arthurian legend in history and
literature, as well as a new and provocative theory about the
identity of Chretien de Troyes. This clearly presented translation,
faithful in preserving the subtle expressive qualities of the
original work, is accessible reading for any Arthurian legend
aficionado and an ideal text for students of medieval literature.
The book series Beihefte zur Zeitschrift fur romanische Philologie,
founded by Gustav Groeber in 1905, is among the most renowned
publications in Romance Studies. It covers the entire field of
Romance linguistics, including the national languages as well as
the lesser studied Romance languages. The editors welcome
submissions of high-quality monographs and collected volumes on all
areas of linguistic research, on medieval literature and on textual
criticism. The publication languages of the series are French,
Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Romanian as well as German and
English. Each collected volume should be as uniform as possible in
its contents and in the choice of languages.
In celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Paris Commune,
leftist writers Olivier Besancenot and Michael Loewy offer a deeply
informed, and eminently enjoyable, imagined history of what might
have been if Karl Marx and his eldest daughter, Jenny, had
travelled to Paris during the heady weeks of April 1871. In
disguise, employing imperfect but serviceable French, Karl and
Jenny encounter and debate many important figures of the movement,
including Leo Frankel, Eugene Varlin, Charles Longuet, Elisabeth
Dmitrieff, and Louise Michel, eventually returning to England with
a profoundly changed sense of political possibility.
