Modern Chivalry V1-2 - Catherine Grace Frances Gore - Bog

Modern Chivalry V1-2: Or A New Orlando Furioso is a two-volume novel written by Catherine Grace F. Gore and published in 1843. The book is a satirical take on the romantic and chivalrous literature of the past, particularly the epic poem Orlando Furioso by Ludovico Ariosto. The story follows the adventures of Sir Guy de Vere, a chivalrous knight who travels the world in search of adventure and love. Along the way, he encounters a variety of characters, both noble and ignoble, and engages in battles, quests, and romantic pursuits. The novel is a humorous and often irreverent take on the conventions of chivalric romance, poking fun at the exaggerated heroism and idealized love of the genre. It also contains social commentary on the changing values of 19th-century society, particularly in regard to gender roles and class distinctions. Overall, Modern Chivalry V1-2 is a lively and entertaining read that offers a unique perspective on the literary traditions of the past.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
