Status Updates From The Lais of Marie de France...

"'There's only one entrance, and an old priest guards the gate: may God let him burn in hell!'" This had to be a RIOT in the 12th century

Another bird lover?
Poor birdie… it wasn’t its fault.
But I’m not sure about this one. Very short sad but I didn’t understand the ending. They broke up because it was a threat from her husband?

The difference between Yonec and Lanval are so cruel. On the surface they’re similar but soon enough the cavern between the fate of women and men is shown, in the fate, their suffering and how the interaction with their lover. Am sad…
But this has a high potential of being an interesting fairytale/retelling.

Prologue to The Lais:
I trust only Shoaf with the translation.
I love her footnotes!
Marie knows she’s talented, and feels that she should put it into the world. No projects for the drawer for her. Also tanks for the archival work!
Kids stay in school and learn to read! It’ll save you to learn on your own flesh.
Death of the author but also oral folktales are based on truth?

Very sad stories..

“in days gone by one could hear tell, and indeed it often used to happen, that many men turned into werewolves and went to live in the woods” i’m sat

Entertaining

Pretty sad
