Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the world of chivalry and its influence on literature and society. The author meticulously traces the evolution of the concept of chivalry from its roots in ancient Germanic cultures to its flourishing in medieval Europe. This exploration takes the reader through the origins of knightly duels, the rise of chivalric romances, and the impact of these tales on the social fabric of Spain. The book sheds light on the evolution of chivalric literature, examining how the fantastic tales of knights errant and their adventures transformed from simplistic narratives to elaborate, complex works of fiction. The author also reveals the underlying satirical intent behind many of these romances, particularly in the context of Spanish society. Through a close examination of the works of Cervantes, the author unravels the author's intention to expose the follies of both the idealized chivalry and the societal obsession with its fantastical portrayal. By juxtaposing these fantastical tales with the realities of medieval life, the book offers a compelling analysis of how idealized notions of chivalry masked the darker realities of a society struggling with political and social anxieties. This book provides fascinating insights into the cultural history of medieval Europe and the complex relationship between literature and social norms.
