Description
Silence: A Thirteenth-Century French Romance is a bilingual edition of an Arthurian romance from the thirteenth century. This parallel text in Old French and English presents a reexamination of the original manuscript, making it accessible to specialists and students alike. The story follows a girl raised as a boy, who excels as both a minstrel and knight. Her final task is to capture Merlin, an event that ultimately leads to her unmasking. This medieval text offers insights into the lives of women in literature and women's studies. A valuable resource for scholars and researchers, Silence provides a unique perspective on this lesser-known Arthurian romance.
