...If the romances are as a whole lacking both in poetical feeling and in the deeper sort of humour, they are usually very good as stories. Moreover, they reflect unconsciously the modes of thought and life in the Middle Ages. Those of which a prose version is given in this volume are selected mainly for these qualities. It is possible that some day the readers of them will be induced to study the originals; but meanwhile this collection is offered as a story-book which incidentally contains traces of what our forefathers thought and did in the days before printing was invented - Summary by Introduction
