«Guillermo de Inglaterra» is the adventure novel by Chrétien de Troyes, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (125 pages, in Spanish).
A singular work in Chrétien de Troyes's corpus, related to the Byzantine novel and the «Vida de San Eustaquio». A king separated from his throne and his own lives through many adventures until he is reunited with his family; the story can be read as a defense of aristocratic values against the rise of the bourgeoisie.
Work published in 1997 in the El libro de bolsillo collection (Biblioteca artúrica) by Alianza Editorial, with introduction and notes by Marie-José Lemarchand.
It is suitable reading for fans of medieval literature and of Alianza Editorial's Biblioteca artúrica.
Chrétien de Troyes was a French poet and trouvère known for his writing on Arthurian subjects such as Gawain, Lancelot, Perceval, and the Holy Grail. Chrétien's chivalric romances, including Erec and Enide, Lancelot, Perceval, and Yvain, represent some of the best-regarded works of medieval literature. His use of structure, particularly in Yvain, has been seen as a step toward the modern novel.
