Lays of France: Founded on the Lays of Marie is a book written by Arthur William Edgar O'Shaughnessy and published in 1874. The book is a collection of poems that are based on the Lais of Marie de France, a 12th-century poet who wrote in Old French. O'Shaughnessy's poems are written in English and are inspired by the themes and stories found in Marie's work. The book is divided into several sections, each of which contains a series of poems that explore different aspects of French history, mythology, and culture. The poems are written in a lyrical and evocative style, and they often focus on themes of love, chivalry, and honor. Overall, Lays of France is a fascinating exploration of French literature and culture, as seen through the eyes of a talented poet writing in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
