Description
"Available only in Middle French and German translation until now, this volume constitutes the first full-length, French-English bilingual edition of Rene of Anjou's Livre du cuers d'amours espris, including all sixteen long-celebrated color plates, a critical introduction, notes on the translation, and a comprehensive bibliography.". "The book tells the tale of desire and adventure as Heart - part of Rene torn from his body by Love - travels a complex allegorical landscape in quest of the lady Mercy, who is being held prisoner by a band of miscreants led by Refusal and Shame. Rene begs the reader to help him determine which of three entities is responsible for his torment: Fortune has led him to the lady whom he loves; once he arrived, Love, in the guise of his lady's gaze, struck his heart; and Destiny insists that he reflect upon her alone."--BOOK JACKET.
