Her introduction discusses the varying views of women and love in the texts and their place in the courtly tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom Chr tien de Troyes Terry includes an early work, \u003ci\u003ePhilomena\u003c\/i\u003e, here translated into verse for the first time. The other great writer of this period was Marie de France, the first woman in the European narrative tradition. \u003ci\u003eLanval\u003c\/i\u003e is newly translated for this edition, which also features four of Marie's other poems. The collection further includes \u003ci\u003eThe Reflection\u003c\/i\u003e by Jean Renart, known for his realistic settings; and the anonymous \u003ci\u003eChatelaine of Vergi\u003c\/i\u003e, a fatalistic and perhaps more modern depiction of love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia Terry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520083792\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520083790\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/22\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.24h x 5.59w x 0.57d","brand":"Patricia Terry","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056202346751,"sku":"9780520083790","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c626ff40-7dd0-457e-89e9-2d4b465c56be.jpg?v=1685040060","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-honeysuckle-and-the-hazel-patricia-terry-9780520083790","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
