Résumé:

Toward the end of the eighteenth century, England was witness to a fascinating phenomenon: the revival of the medieval code of chivalry. The adaptation of these ideals as an appropriate mode of behavior for contemporary gentlemen was reflected not only in the art and culture of the period, but in its intellectual and political life as well. Mark Girouard traces the impact of the revival of chivalry in all its various aspects including politics, sport, literature, art, love and war. His narrative ranges from the novels of Walter Scott and the poetry of Tennyson to the art of the Pre-Raphaelites; from the popularity of fancy-dress balls and knights in armor to the ill-fated Eglington Tournament. Throughout the book Girouard traces the influence of chivalry on politics. In the concluding chapters, he poignantly shows how the very concepts of glory and honor that made war acceptable, and even desirable, dissolved in the trenches of World War I. -- From publisher's description.
