The Age of Chivalry - Thomas Bulfinch / 9780028614786
The Illustrated Bulfinch's Mythology.
This book weaves European legends into an epic tale of honor and bravery, beginning with the formation of the Round Table by King Arthur and the magic of Merlin. The adventure follows the quests of knights such as Lancelot, explores the Celtic myths from the Mabinogion, and concludes with the adventures of Robin Hood and Richard the Lionheart. It shows how chivalrous ideals such as courage and loyalty have shaped the culture.
Readers praise this book as a timeless classic that unlocks the complex world of chivalric tales and mythology for a broad audience in a highly accessible and elegant manner. Public opinion is particularly complimentary regarding the balance between literary depth and readability, with Bulfinch succeeding in breathing new life into the archaic tales of King Arthur and Robin Hood without losing their historical charm. This specific edition, in particular, is appreciated for the beautiful illustrations by Giovanni Caselli, which many consider to add an indispensable visual dimension that sparks the imagination and makes the medieval atmosphere tangible. Although some purists occasionally find the language somewhat old-fashioned, the majority of readers regard it as the definitive standard work for anyone wishing to understand the foundations of Western chivalric culture.
This specific edition (ISBN 9780028614786) is famous for the illustrations by Giovanni Caselli, who conducted historical research to draw the armor and clothing as accurately as possible.
Thomas Bulfinch was a nineteenth-century American banker and scholar who became world-famous for his passion to make classical mythology and chivalric tales accessible to the general public. He believed that knowledge of these legends was essential to understanding literature and art, and he therefore rewrote the complex ancient texts into clear, civilized stories that have sparked the imagination of generations of readers. Although he maintained a modest office job at a bank in Boston throughout his life, he rose to become one of the most important literary bridge-builders, whose collected works are still considered the gold standard for mythological introductions.
Bulfinch wrote this book specifically so that people would not be left speechless when they looked at a painting in a museum or read a poem that referred to King Arthur.
