/><b>Descripción</b><br /><p> Among 15th-century literature in
the Romance languages, Curial and Guelfa is one of the most successful
romances of chivalry. It is a veritable jewel of late medieval
European literature and of narrative in the Crown of Aragon in
particular. Curial shares a range of features — realism, humanity,
believable deeds of chivalry, historical background, allusions to
everyday life, elements of humour and parody, variation between
literary and popular language — with contemporary French chivalric
narratives, and with the Valencian Joanot Martorell’s Tirant lo
Blanc. In this company, however, Curial stands out for the
predominance in it of the sentimental component, for a significant
incidence of learned elements from Greek and Latin classical culture
and from the early fathers of the Christian church, and for its
striking stylistic elegance. These learned elements are an indication
of fresh humanistic breezes blowing from Italy. In this way the novel
unites several cultural currents that converge in western Romance
narrative at the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the
Renaissance.<br /><br />This translation into English, by Max W.
Wheeler, is based upon the 2008 edition by Antoni Ferrando.</p><br
