Domnei: A Comedy Of Women Worship is a novel written by American author James Branch Cabell, first published in 1913. The book is set in the fictional province of Poictesme, France, during the medieval period, and follows the story of a young knight named Perion de la For������t as he searches for true love.Perion is a skilled warrior who has fallen in love with a woman named Melicent, but she is already promised to another man. In his quest to win her heart, Perion encounters a series of women who he worships and idealizes, including a sorceress, a duchess, and a queen. Each woman represents a different aspect of feminine power and allure, and Perion becomes obsessed with them in turn.As Perion's journey continues, he also faces challenges from rival knights, political intrigue, and his own inner demons. Through it all, he remains steadfast in his pursuit of Melicent and his belief in the power of love.Domnei is a satirical and humorous look at the medieval concept of courtly love, which idealized women as objects of worship and devotion. Cabell uses witty language and clever wordplay to poke fun at the chivalric code and the romantic ideals of his time. The book is also notable for its strong female characters, who challenge traditional gender roles and expectations.Overall, Domnei: A Comedy Of Women Worship is a thought-provoking and entertaining novel that explores the complexities of love, desire, and power in medieval society.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1920 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
