About this Item
1917 BEAUTIFUL 1ed Aucassin & Nicolete Medieval French Chantefable Poem English Aucassin & Nicolete, translated from French to English by Michael West, is a 12-13th-century French chantefable, a unique blend of prose and verse. The story follows the romantic escapades of Aucassin and Nicolete (also spelled, Nicolette), challenged by societal norms and familial constraints. Beyond a simple love tale, the narrative employs satire, parodying traditional literary genres and themes, from courtly love to gender roles. Set against a backdrop of adventure, disguise, and fantasy, it offers a humorous critique of medieval European conventions. All of which is accompanied by 8 beautifully illustrated plates throughout. Notably rare, less than 100 recorded copies remain of any edition that was published by George G. Harrap and Co. Item number: #41495 Price: $499 WEST, Michael (Transl.) Aucassin & Nicolete.
