High Country Hold Up by Jake Logan
The three narrative lays presented here form a sequel to the authors' French Arthurian Literature IV: Eleven Old French Narrative Lays, published in 2007. No new edition of Ignaure has appeared since 1938 and in the meantime this poem has generated a considerable amount of critical comment, especially as it provides the first full-length example in medieval European literature of the theme of the Eaten Heart. Oiselet recounts abird's use of three truths as a means of escaping from the clutches of an uncultivated vilain. In the extant manuscripts these truths occur in two different orders, both of which are provided in the present edition. Amours, which follows the progress of a love affair between a nobleman and his beloved, has not been edited since 1878. All three poems challenge our understanding of the term lay, especially if we regard the lays of Marie de France as defining the principal features of this genre. GLYN S. BURGES is Emeritus Professor of French at the University of Liverpool; LESLIE C. BROK is Honorary Senior Research Fellow in French at the University of Birmingham.
Jake Logan has been writing novels and fan fiction for over 30 years. Starting with the Dukes of Hazzard, moving on to Star Trek and other fan fiction, he eventually created his own characters and worlds. With the rise of fantasy, and later urban fantasy, he developed (and still creates) characters that were not quite heroes: characters with quirks and flaws, characters that were broken. Now, he still writes stories that are character-driven. These characters are human first, and gay second.
