{"product_id":"seven-of-her-lays-marie-de-france-9781904799450","title":"Seven of Her Lays","description":"Despite their modest size, the Lays of Marie de France are among the finest flowerings of Medieval French literature. They are charming, witty, and imbued with the code of courtly love. This new edition of Edith Rickert's translations will appeal to the general reader as much as the medievalist. Marie de France is thought to have been a noblewoman from the Isle de France or Normandy, living in England in the middle of the twelfth century. Her tales draw on the stories of Brittany and of her adopted country. Edith Rickert (1871-1938), a talented linguist and medievalist, received her degree from Vassar in 1891, and returned there in 1897 to teach English. She received a PhD from the University of Chicago in 1899. In 1900 she went to England where she combined academic research with a busy career as a professional writer. She returned to the United States in 1909 and later lectured at the University of Chicago. During the First World War, she worked as a codebreaker.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marie de France, Edith Rickert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1904799450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781904799450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tiger of the Stripe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.42d","brand":"Marie de France","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46372456988927,"sku":"9781904799450","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f071f333-d249-492b-b55b-157b858a11f9.jpg?v=1732725999","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/seven-of-her-lays-marie-de-france-9781904799450","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
