The medieval period of literature was in many ways what I expected, overtly religious and courtly, but there were some really surprising gems in here that completely caught me off guard. While many classics will probably be familiar to many readers, such as Dante's Inferno, Beowolf, The Canterbury Tales, and the various religious texts, there are plenty of fun shorter pieces, talented female authors, sobering philosophy, and tragic true stories.

While many classics will probably be familiar to many readers, such as Dante's Inferno, Beowolf, The Canterbury Tales, and the various religious texts, there are plenty of fun shorter pieces, talented female authors, sobering philosophy, and tragic true stories. The brilliant historical and biographical pieces were, as always, well informed, well organized, and insightful.Much of the European selection tended to get a bit overly concerned with morality for my taste, but I still found The Golden Ass and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight to be excellent magical adventures.

Christine de Pizan had some excellent early feminist writing, and Marco Polo was hilarious. Honestly, the things he claims to have seen.well I won't spoil it. But it wasn't nearly as serious as I expected.While poetry is not usually a big interest for me, there was some lovely Sanskrit lyrics by Bhartrhari and Murari.

Particularly Bhartrahari was honestly really relatable, and the voice in the poetry was so clear and real.In the medieval Chinese literature section there was a wide range of styles to look at such as prose on literature, large collections of poetry, and some beautiful narratives. Personally, Ruan Ji, Hanshan, Lu Ji, Bo Juyi, and Li Qingzhao were my favorites. There were bittersweet tragic love stories, highly intuitive descriptions of the writing process, and some beautifully relatable thoughts on life using Buddhist and Daoist lenses.It was interesting finally having a section of Japanese literature. Many of the stories gave clear accounts of life at the time in both the Heian court, and for people who lived outside of it in recluse. I personally enjoyed Sugawara no Michizane's discussions on the hardships of being an educator. It's nice to know some things don't change. The Tales of the Heike was probably one of my favorite finds.

It had qualities of both the Iliad and The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I wish they had included the entire piece, but alas I'll have to look for that separately.Overall, it was fascinating to see the differences and similarities between the medieval period in Europe and Asia, and this collection had so many wonderful surprises.

Even for those who are not initially interested in this time period, or religious texts for that matter, will find some really great stories in here. I'm looking forward to reading the next volume in this collection.
