Literature
during Middle Age (Medieval) is dominated by theological-religious works, besides secular ones. Medieval authors
often deeply respected the classical writers and the Church Fathers and tended to re-tell and embellish stories
they had heard or read rather than invent new stories. [Source]

DeleteHi Fanda,
ReplyDeleteActually, I have lots of books to read, but I read “Abelard’s “The Story of my Misfortunes”, Monmouth’s “The History of the Kings of Britain (includes the lives of King Lear and King Arthur), Chaucer’s “The Book of the Duchess” so far. I wish to read one of these great works: Chaucer’s “Troilus and Criseyde”, “The Romance of the Rose”, Chaucer’s “The Canterbury Tales”, “The Mabinogion”, and St. Augustin’s ‘Confessions”, but, as the remaining days for the Medieval literature are so limited, I must reach a decision in few hours. I love to read Chretien De Troyes’ “Arthurian Romances” and Malory’s “Le Morte D’Arthur” (I have three different versions), and Boccaccio’s “Decameron”, but it seems impossible to read them this year. I wanted to read St. Augustin’s Confessions (I even read three chapters more than once), but I am not in a mood for hard stuff that requires lots of concentration and reflection now. However, I’ll try later this year. I do really enjoy this challenge, thank you so much Fanda!
Bravo Maan! You've read many great Medieval works this month. I could only read one, but it must have been one of the toughest, so...I'm not disappointed. Good luck for next movements/periods ;)
