Synopsis
Includes sections on French Literature, Spanish Literature, Scandinavian Literature, German Literature and Italian Literature. "The aim of this little book is to give general readers some idea of the subject and spirit of European Continental literature in the later and minating period of the Middle Ages-the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth centuries. The Middle Ages extend from the fifth to the fifteenth century, from the fall of the Roman Empire to the establishment of the great modern states."
