Synopsis

A 13th century French chantefable (a story told in alternating sections of sung verse and recited prose), concerning Aucassin, the son of the Count of Beacaire, who falls in love with Nicolette, a captive Saracen turned Christian. Interestingly, the unknown author, who is thought to have been a professional minstrel from northeastern France, mocks both epic and romance in his tale, portraying Nicolette as full of resourcefulness and Aucassin as a lovesick swain.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Southern waters run Through rustling leagues of poplars gray, Beneath a veiled soft Southern sun, We wandered out of Yesterday ;W ent Maying in that ancient May Whose fallen flowers are fragrant yet, And lingered by the fountain spray With A ucassin and Nicolete. The grassgrown paths are trod of none Where through the woods they went astray ;T he spiders traceries are spun A cross the darkling forest way; There come no Knights that ride to slay. No Pilgrims through the grasses wet, No shepherd lads that sang their say With A ucassin and Nicolete. Twas here by Nicolete begun Her lodge of boughs and blossoms gay; Scaped from the cell of marble dun Twas here the lover found the Fay; Olovers fond, Ofoolish play !H ow hard we find it to forget, Who fain would dwell with them as they. With A ucassin and Nicolete.
