The Flourishing of Romance and the Rise of Allegory by George Saintsbury is a comprehensive study of the medieval literary movement of romance and allegory. The book explores the origins and development of these two genres, tracing their evolution from the early Middle Ages to the Renaissance. Saintsbury provides detailed analyses of key works of literature, including the Arthurian legends, the stories of Tristan and Isolde, and the allegorical works of Dante and Chaucer. He also examines the social and cultural context in which these works were produced, exploring the role of courtly love, chivalry, and religious symbolism in shaping medieval literature. With its insightful analysis and engaging style, The Flourishing of Romance and the Rise of Allegory is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of literature and the medieval period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
