The object of this work is to familiarize students with the myths and legends which form the principal subjects of mediæval literature, and whose influence is everywhere apparent in the subsequent history of literature and art. Following the plan and treatment of the author’s earlier volumes in this series, appropriate quotations from mediæval and modern writings are given in connection with the various legends. These illustrate the style of the poem in which they are embodied, or lend additional force to some point in the story. The book includes notable illustrations and a chapter on the romance literature of the period in the various countries of Europe.
