hi, if you don't mind sharing, what are some good articles you've read about lanval?

[@douglasparker6276]

I haven't based my reading on any particular studies of "Lanval" itself. I've reviewed several, but none have any controlling effect on my reading as far as I can tell. I have done some significant reading of the cultural conditions of the late Medieval Ages in Europe. Check out Umberto Eco's "Art and Beauty in the Middle Ages;" Barbara Tuchman's "A Distant Mirror;" "Medieval People" by Eileen Power;" RW Southern's "The Middle Ages;" Erich Auerbach's "Literary Language and its Public;" and "The Waning of the Middle Ages" by Johan Huizinga.
