Chrétien de Troyes was a French poet and trouvère known for his writing on Arthurian subjects, and for first writing of Lancelot, Percival and the Holy Grail. Chrétien\'s works, including Erec and Enide, Lancelot, Perceval and Yvain, represent some of the best-regarded of medieval literature. His use of structure, particularly in Yvain, has been seen as a step towards the modern novel.The 5 volumes in this set consist of:Vol 1 Erec et Enide, published 1981, 285 pages, very good condition.Vol 2 Cliges, 1982, 256 pages, very good condition.
