Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. In the eighteenth century, Richard Hurd wrote Letters on Chivalry and Romance to introduce an innovative perspective on the value of medieval literature. The author argues that these tales of knights and chivalry are not merely relics of a barbaric past but rather insightful expressions of the human condition. Hurd examines the historical and social context in which chivalry arose, highlighting its connection to feudalism and its reflection of the era's political and military realities. He also explores the literary conventions of medieval romances, with their emphasis on gallantry, heroism, and the supernatural. Through comparative analysis, Hurd demonstrates that these elements were not simply entertaining but served a deeper purpose: namely, to convey important moral lessons and reveal universal truths about the human experience. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in medieval literature or the history of literary criticism, providing a nuanced understanding of the enduring significance of these often-overlooked works. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
