Opis

Variously described as a comedy of manners, a psychological romance, and a type of fabliau, the remarkable 13th-century verse narrative Flamenca is regarded as the best medieval romance written in Occitan. Not only a love story, the poem is layered with responses to the troubadour tradition of love
