Chrétien De Troyes Libri
1 gennaio 1135 – 1 gennaio 1181
Chrétien de Troyes è ampiamente considerato il padre del romanzo arturiano e una figura centrale nella letteratura occidentale. Le sue opere, composte in francese nella seconda metà del XII secolo, sono caratterizzate da una profonda erudizione e da un gusto per la dialettica, probabilmente acquisiti negli studi classici. Allo stesso tempo, la sua scrittura rivela una calda empatia umana che anima personaggi e situazioni. Sebbene attinga al mito celtico e ambientando le sue narrazioni nel regno senza tempo di Re Artù, infonde nelle opere la società e le usanze della sua epoca, e la sua ultima opera incompiuta introduce notevolmente il misterioso Graal nella letteratura.
