Thinking of Marie de France
October 01, 2021
For our upcoming session, I suggest you read "Guigemar" and "Yönec." Then, consider these groupings:
- Le Chaitivel, Bisclavret, Equitan
- Lanval, Le Fresne, Eliduc
- Milun, Laüstic, Chevrefoil, Les Deux Amanz
The Lais were meant to be heard -- here is a link to an audiobook version available from Audible:
