Lais are short stories in verse based on Breton tales, depicting a moment of crisis in a love relationship always intense and refined, and often far more complicated than our view of courtly love might lead us to suppose. Marie de France is the earliest known French woman poet, and her lais are among the finest examples of the genre. 164 pages.
