About this book
The Fury of Gawain & Other French Medieval Romances (Volume 1) presents eight bloody and magical sagas translated from 13th century sources. This work of fiction explores the vivid Arthurian universe of French romance writers, challenging modern assumptions about the legendary Round Table. The collection focuses on Gawain, whose quest leads him into the depths of his own fury, far removed from the version of the hero who faced the Green Knight.
These stories highlight the cruelty of King Arthur's foster-brother Kei and the dishonorable nature of Sir Tristan. The volume includes a grim origin of the Holy Grail and details the fate of Lancelot and Queen Guenevere after Arthur departed for Avalon. As a landmark of French fantasy, The Fury of Gawain & Other French Medieval Romances (Volume 1) brings subversive medieval tales to a modern audience through professional translation.
