El caballero de la carreta
El caballero de la carreta | Chrétien de Troyes
5 posts | 8 read | 3 to read
El caballero de la carreta no solo se distingue por ser la precursora de la narrativa moderna, sino que destaca aún más si cabe, por su aportación trascendental a la literatura artúrica. Con Chrétien de Troyes el héroe emprende sus hazañas, exclusivamente, por amor a una dama o una doncella. El denominado amor cortés importado de los trovadores occitanos. Es así como Lanzarote, por su desmedido amor a Ginebra, sensual y carnal a la vez, traiciona incluso a su propio rey Arturo.

Lancelot and Guinevere‘s love story is ageless, and Chrétien de Troyes was the first to write it. The poem is full of adventure and romance, as a chivalric tale should be. Not a fast read, especially if the modernization/translation you read stays close to the original (as mine did). Give yourself time to appreciate it fully!

Written in the 12th century by Chretien de Troyes, this tale embodies the classic story of courtly love, or when men lose their identities chasing after the woman their hearts desire. Courtly love is such an interesting concept, in the 12th century to love your spouse was not allowed because it was considered adultery against god, your love was only supposed to belong to god. So instead men would seek out another to please and give his heart to.

Time for some 12th century literature for my Love and Romance class! Ah, the life of an English major.
