Fergus: Roman 1872 [Leather Bound]

Ernst Martin Guillaume le Clerc de Normandie

4.9/5 (13464 ratings)

Description:Since its composition around 1200, Scotland's own Arthurian romance has been overshadowed by the more popular Arthurian legends, such as the grail quests of Perceval and Galahad and the love of Lancelot for Queen Guenevere. Indeed, the story of Fergus, one of Arthur's knights, has been known only to a few, for it was written in Old French and this has prevented its proper recognition as part of the Scottish literary heritage. IN Fergus of Galloway, Guillaume le Clerc succeeds in combining a unique Scottish setting, the classic themes and conventions of Arthurian romance - many of which would be familiar to his audience through the works of Chrétian de Troyes and his successors - with a highly individual tone of parody and witty comment. Through Professor Owen's eloquent and lively translation, this exciting and hitherto much undervalued work is now available for a wider audience to appreciate.Professor Owen's introduction outlines the literary techniques employed in Fergus of Galloway and discusses the significance of Guillaume's achievement in the context of other Arthurian romances. Detailed notes help the reader gain a closer understanding of the poet's technique and two appendices contain much useful background information: the first provides a translation of the principal episodes in the Perceval Continuations used in Fergus of Galloway and in the second a new theory on the possible identity of Guillaume is published for the first time.Fergus of Galloway, an intriguing companion volume to Chrétian de Troyes' Arthurian Romances, is essential reading for students of Arthurian romance and for anyone interested in Scottish literary history.Cover Illustration: A nineteenth-century engraving of Dunnotter Castle near Stonehaven, by J.C.
