Description

The twelve "lays" of Marie de France, the earliest knownFrench woman poet, are here presented in sprightly English verse bypoet/translator David R. Slavitt. These old Breton folk tales were theraw material for Marie de France's series of lively but profoundconsiderations of love, life, death, fidelity and betrayal, and luckand fate. They are acute observations about the different kinds ofchoices women make, startling in the late twelfth century andchallenging even today. The lays, which combine a woman's wisdomwith an impressive technical bravura, are a minor treasure of Europeanculture.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
