- Not much is known about Marie de France except that she is the first identifiable female writer in French. Her name was signed to a number of "lais" or short verse tales, a collection of moral fables containing elements of satire, and some translations of Latin texts into French, as well as the poem/novel, The Legend of the Purgatory of St. Patrick. She was one of the most creative and effective storytellers of the Middle Ages. She's called Marie de France after a line in one of her published works: "Marie ai num, si sui de France" ("My name is Marie and I am from France."). Some historians believe she was a daughter of King Louis VII or the Comte de Meulan. Alternatively, she may have been an illegitimate daughter of Geoffrey V, Count of Anjou, and thus a half-sister of King Henry II of England. She appears to have lived part of her life in England.

The style is really easy to read and has a good rhythm to it, with only a few weird words. The stories are solidly entertaining - like well written folktales - and my first read in the chivalric style. What stood out to me most is how almost every story feels like it features adultery from men who are, of course, highly chivalrous and virtuous. It's hard to tell what level of humour it's operating on sometimes when the guy says "oh let's go back and murder your husband" or (ending description/spoiler for the last tale, but it's such an incredible ending)
I would say this book has enhanced my understanding of chivalry as about a bunch of dudes who are horny all the time. Thank you… (altro)
