Meet the Author

Joseph Bédier (1864-1938) was a professor of medieval French literature at the Université de Fribourg, Switzerland and the Collège de France, Paris. His theories of medieval songs and stories remain influential among scholars. He also co-edited a landmark study of French literature.

Joseph Hilaire Pierre René Belloc (1870-1953) was born near Paris and became a naturalized British subject in 1902. A member of Parliament (1906-1910) and frequent collaborator with G. K. Chesterton, he is best known for his writings on Catholicism. He published more than 150 volumes, including novels, essays, biographies, verse, and travel writing.

    alright

    You definately must be a fan of arthurian literature to enjoy this book. Althought it is short and easy to read, i did not enjoy it at all. I found the wording and the basic concept frustrating and I would not recommend this book to anyone not already interested. However, if the book seems interesting to you I would say its worth a try.

    Readable, sad and fun (?).

    I had been meaning to read this book since it pops up here and there in conversation and books and music but never got around to it. So I finally picked it up and read it in a few sittings, its a short version. I enjoyed myself and the sadness did not bother me too much. Thanks.
