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

In addition, here are two great resources you can use to prepare for our reading and discussion of the Lais of Marie de France:
