- Summary:
-
Annotation. The title Once She Had Escaped the Tower has two levels of meaning. It suggests that once a lady was able to escape an imprisoning tower resolutely, and that the lady continued her actions after the escape. In contrast to literature in which a female hero might die captive in a tower, and to works in which a female hero's escape signals the end of a narrative, Quemar Press' new volume signifies the female protagonist's survival and casts light on her as she continues - in action and in clear-thought that eclipses confinement. This volume includes two texts encompassing this ability to continue: Medieval French Chantefable Aucassin and Nicolette and Marie de France's Anglo-Norman Romance Gugemer - here in Quemar's new Modern English translations.
