«Lancelot ou Le chevalier de la Charrette» is the Arthurian romance by Chrétien de Troyes, published by Gallimard in paperback (212 pages, in French).
The poem narrates the rescue of the abducted Queen Guinevere by the knight Lancelot, who agrees to ride in a cart, a vehicle reserved for the condemned, accepting public humiliation. Chrétien de Troyes left the work unfinished and Godefroi de Lagny completed it.
The work belongs to the Romances Arthuriennes series. This edition includes a dossier by Virginie Barrabès and an image reading by Isabelle Varloteaux.
Suitable for students of French literature and readers interested in medieval poetry and Arthurian legends.
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.
