Cligès

from The Matter of Britain Podcast: history and legend of King Arthur and his knights

Chrétien de Troyes' romance Cligès follows two stories: the story of the Greek knight Alexander and his love Soredamors, and then the story of their son Cligès, who falls in love with his uncle the Emperor's wife. With more internal monologue than just about any other romance, Cligès acts as a kind of discourse on love.http://www.matterofbritianpodcast.comhttp://www.patreon/com/thematterofbritainpodcast Hosted on Acast.
