Originally published in 1992. Although they were apparently much appreciated in his own time, Chaucer’s lyrics have for most of the modern era been the most neglected of his poetic productions. This work offers a comprehensive overview of Chaucer’s lyric corpus. The author extends his scope to include in-depth discussions of literary and cultural influences that have their impact on Chaucer’s lyrics. Students who come to Chaucer’s poems for the first time will here receive an excellent introduction to each poem, the important literary issues surrounding the poem as defined by previous scholarship, and Ruud’s own clear style and balanced judgment. The persuasive proofs for Chaucer’s lyric innovations and his special style of poetry will also be of interest to Chaucerian specialist academics. The book traces Chaucer’s development as a lyric poet, from more conventional early works to more individualized later ones.

When a disheveled young woman walks into King Arthur''s court and demands justice, declaring she has been brutally violated by a knight of the Round Table, Arthur vows that the culprit will be tracked down and punished. But young Gildas of Cornwall, now squire to the king''s nephew Sir Gareth, has his own problems: His beloved Lady Rosemounde has been betrothed by her father to another knight. When Rosemounde''s new fiancé turns out to be the knight accused of the vicious crime, Rosemounde begs Gildas for help. He must enlist the aid of his old mentor, Merlin, in order to prove the innocence of the man he feels has stolen the affections of his only love.
Queen Guinevere, trying to head off a rush to judgment, secures a promise from the king to let her be arbiter in the accused knight''s case and sends the young man on a quest to discover what women most desire. The Knight''s Riddle is a fast-paced mystery in King Arthur''s mythic court of Camelot, set (like the original Arthurian romances) in the high Middle Ages, and narrated by the young squire Gildas, whose knightly ambitions revolve solely around his love of the beautiful Rosemounde.

Sir Lancelot goes missing on his way to save Queen Guinevere—and Merlin must investigate the baffling disappearance in this Arthurian mystery.
King Arthur has just appointed a group of new knights to the Round Table—but Sir Meliagaunt is not among them. Embittered and feeling overlooked, Meliagaunt devises a mad plan to catch Arthur’s notice. He kidnaps Queen Guinevere, accuses her of adultery, and demands a trial by combat to prove his charge. Holding her prisoner at his fortified castle of Gorre, Meliagaunt hopes to force one of Arthur’s greatest knights to fight him. Sir Lancelot is the man for the task. But after hiding in a prison cart during his journey, he disappears…
Once again, Merlin is called upon not only for his magic abilities, but for his investigative skills. Together with the newly knighted Sir Gildas, he must find Lancelot and bring him back to Camelot in time to save the queen from the stake.
