@Axlr__ génial ! J’adore la littérature médiévale (la le lis les Lais de Marie de France et c’est un gros banger)

[International Marie de France Society @IMdFS]

@BurlHorniachek @FreyChristopher I'd say Marie represents courtly literature, not Arthuriana. She is often chosen for undergraduate surveys because her work is shorter and more accessible than most, including Chrétien.

This spurred me to order The Lais of Marie de France -- new to me.

6th preview Marie de France's Yonec: hawk knight shapeshifts to form of the Lady, takes communion in her guise to reassure that his love not sinister, so they united. Reflects Marie's themes that husband imprisoning his wife forfeits right to her fidelity

The Medieval French Ovide moralisé is "a masterclass in what modern scholarly translation should be". Read Sebastian Dows-Miller's full review @TheTLS: https://t.co/7P1EGXKkeT

Very pleased to have a chapter (on Marie de France and Lauren Groff) in this anthology. https://t.co/QXlI8mPjrV

[Historic Women Daily @historicwomens]

The Woman and the Wolf in poet Marie de France’s “Bisclavret”. Virtually nothing is known of her life; both her name and its geographical specification come from manuscripts containing her works. However, one written description of her work and popularity from her era exists.

[Lucie Kaempfer @lukaempf]

I've just noticed my article on emotions in some of Marie's short lais and Sir Orfeo is now on JSTOR. It's in French and although not part of my main book research, it obviously features joy a lot! @IMdFS https://t.co/HKuF7gsFJv
