In this verse translation of Chrétien de Troyes's Lancelot, Ruth Harwood Cline revives the original story of the immortal love affair between Sir Lancelot and Queen Guinevere, a tale that has spawned interpretations ranging from Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur to Lerner and Lowe's Camelot.
By remaining faithful to Chrétien's highly structured form, Cline preserves the pace, the pungency of proverbial expressions, and the work's poetical devices and word play in translating this archetypal tale of courtly love from Old French into modern English. Cline's introduction--containing a description of Arthur in history and literature, a discussion of courtly love, and an account of the continuations of the story of Lancelot and Guinevere--makes Lancelot an ideal classroom text.

Lancelot
Lancelot is a damsel in distress
lancelot in the tower: oh woe, my life sucks, i'm stuck here forever
the maiden: yo, lancelot!
lancelot: i will never be free. nobody knows i'm here. alas.
the maiden: seriously dude i'm right here
lancelot: i wish i was dead
the maiden: LANCELOT
lancelot: i'm dreaming
the maiden: no you're not. i'm literally right here
lancelot: who are you?
the maiden: your knight in shining armour. now stop messing about and throw down that rope you've got, and i'll send up on it this pickaxe that i handily have with me because i am an excellent rescuer, and then i'll make it so you don't die on the journey even if i have to walk so that you can ride my mule, and basically i am a thousand times more competent than you
lancelot: wow
lancelot: this is definitely not a dream, right?
the maiden: definitely not.
lancelot: okay. but like. i love you a lot for rescuing me and i think you're awesome, but i'm still totally in love with guinevere. you know that don't you?
the maiden: *rolls eyes* just let me rescue you already
