 OMACL: Erec et Enide: Introduction
"Erec" is the oldest Arthurinn romance to have survived in any language, but it is almost certainly not the first to have been written.
The psychological analysis of Erec's motives in the rude testing of Enide is worthy of attention, and is more subtle than anything previous in French literature with which we are acquainted.
The poem is an episodical romance in the biography of an Arthurinn hero, with the usual amount of space given to his adventures.

Erec and Enide, newly married and lost in erotic, conjugal bliss, are brought back to reality when gossip suggests that Erec, son of a king, prefers life at home to the existence of a fearless, heroic knight.
Erec and Enide is the story of the quest and coming of age of a young knight, an illustrious member of Arthur's court, who must learn to balance the demands of a masculine public life--tests of courage, skill, adaptability, and mature judgment--with the equally urgent demands of the private world of love and marriage.
Erec's rather pig-headed forcing of Enide to lead the way in the forest and never speak to him has odd contemporary overtones.

 OMACL: Erec et Enide: Part I
The story is about Erec the son of Lac -- a story which those who earn a living by telling stories are accustomed to mutilate and spoil in the presence of kings and counts.
That the poet later treated of the love of Cliges and Fenice as a sort of literary atonement for the inevitable moral laxity of Tristan and Iseut has been held by some, and the theory is acceptable in view of the references to be met later in "Cliges".
The father and mother of Enide remain anonymous until the end of this poem.

 Medieval Attitudes Toward Vernacular Literature
The comments made by 12th-century poets in the prologues and epilogues to their vernacular works reveal a great deal about their attitudes toward the literature they are creating.
His or her poem is valued not for its "originality" but for the skill with which the poet has combined disparate elements into a pleasing and artful whole.
The prologue to Chrétien de Troyes's Erec and Enide demonstrates that "originality" was not the goal of medieval poets.

 Erec and Enide
"A wonderfully accurate and witty translation of Chrétien's Erec and Enide which brilliantly renders the rhymed octosyllabics of the original text in compelling, colloquial English.
We see his wife, Enide, develop as an exemplar of chivalry in the female, not as an Amazon, but as a brave, resolute, and wise woman.
In choosing to write in rhymed octosyllabic couplets-Chrétien's prosodic pattern-Dorothy Gilbert has tried to reproduce what so often gets lost in prose or free verse translations: the precise and delicate meter; the rhyme, with its rich possibilities for emphasis, nuance, puns and jokes; and the "mantic power" implicit in proper names.

His name does not appear in any official records and neither his life nor his work can be dated with certainty.
In the prologue of Erec and Enide, the author refers to himself as Cretien de Troyes, from which it can be claimed that he was either born in or spent the greater part of his life in Troyes, one of the major cities in the region of Champagne.
His first masterpiece came when he turned from Rome to the Celtic world and wrote Erec and Enide, the psychological story of a knight and his new bride.
