Its wide-ranging content provides an ideal introduction to a number of themes in medieval literature, making it suitable for a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses.\nThe fast-moving romance plot of this early thirteenth-century tale recounts the ancestry and exploits of Waldef and his two sons, set against a history of pre-Conquest England. The narrative shares themes and incident types with other important insular romances, including the \u003ci\u003eLai of Haveloc\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBoeve de Haumtone\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eGui de Warewic\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eWaldef\u003c\/i\u003e’s scope, interest in battle, and political stratagems bear reading alongside medieval chronicles, while secret love affairs connect it with other romance literature of the period, and adventures across a wide area of the known world provide affinities with medieval travel narrative.","brand":"Arc Humanities Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49722002604376,"sku":"9781641894067","price":166.16,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781641894067.jpg?v=1779168644","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/waldef-a-french-romance-from-medieval-england","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
