stacialithub's review against another edition
3.0
Considered to be the first female French poet by scholars, Marie de France tells various romantic medieval stories related to King Arthur in this book. I read this collection specifically for Bisclaveret (the were-wolf). Though the idea of a werewolf goes back to ancient Greece, Marie de France is one of the earliest versions to be written (probably late 1100s). In this rendering, the werewolf is not a scary beast but a wronged knight. A neat and sympathetic version of a werewolf tale.
