Faggots, it is explicitly anti-medieval, fuck off retards, it was written in the 19th century figuratively speaking.

Don Quixote is medieval.
Not pro-medieval
Not anti-medieval
Medieval.

>I am such a cool contrarian because I hold the most mainstream contrarian view in the world
He literally killed himself after realizing how much of a faggot he was being, faggot. God is dead, faggot. Chivalry is dead, faggot. You are an edgy faggot. You probably haven't even read actual medieval garbage, faggot. Song of Roland? More like Shit of Roland like all true medieval literature.
GO FIGHT WINDMILLS FAGGOT BUT UNIRONICALLY.

>>17433249
DQ is literally the textbook example of the early-modern age clashing with the medieval world that has faded. It's filled to the brim with the message that the medieval era has gone, no matter how hard you try to hold on to it.

Don't call others uppity niggers just because you're still in high-school.
Go read The Song of Roland.

>>17433172


1. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A «MEDIEVAL LITERARY STYLE».

2. «EL INGENIOSO HIDALGO DON QUIXOTE DE LA MANCHA» IS A BAROQUE NOVEL, NOT A MEDIEVAL NOVEL.

El Cantar de mio Cid
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
Le Morte D'Arthur
The Canterbury Tales

Where can I even find an English translation of Roman de Fauvel?

>>17433650
Reading this right now and it's so much fun. Reading 2-3 stories every night before bed is just perfect.

>>17432653
El Cantar del Mio Cid Campeador, or Poem of The Cid, written anonymously sometime between the 12th and 13th century. Tells the story of based boy Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar during the reconquest of Spain from the Moors. Read it, it's awesome.

My first language is Spanish so I couldn't really recommend a translation, but since it's an epic poem you should really try and find a good one.

Death to the pagan infidels

>>17433679
basques were NOT pagan.

>Don Quixote is medieval literature!!!1!
is retardation like this actually common on /lit/ these days? christ

>>17433722
Muslims were

>>17433653
I have absolutely no idea sorry. I quickly checked and found nothing, which is weird. Surely there must a version on a database similar to Gallica (but in english).

This thread is very literary.

>>17434011
Merely a reading of your rotten character.

>>17434011
polytheists do not encounter this because they worship the material world, and only view worship from the viewpoint of what they have to gain from materially concerned personages (most of which are considered demons in all abrahamic faiths)

>>17433647
Canterbury tales is not medieval.

>>17434091
i doubt it, considering your kind barely recognize words on a page in the first place

What???? kek

>>17433764
Are you a French speaker then?

>>17433748
It's as medieval as other books that get thrown out as medieval literature like The Name of the Rose, Pillars of the Earth, and The Once and Future King.
I think the better distinction might be capital-M Medieval literature versus small-m medieval literature

>>17434133
>try harder
I read a lot of ethnographic material from indigenous and shamanistic cultures, and almost of of the cultures I read about share a similar worldview; how can I manipulate specific non-human personages to discover hidden knowledge or benefit in terms of wealth and war. All "old-belief" systems are pretty much universally occultism. That's not to say they're misguided, those personages are real. However, the God of Abraham is unique in the fact that His will is obviously the polar opposite. Demons aren't a singular force of evil, but they are all mutually corrosive in different ways; preying on one's desires. Shamanistic cultures aren't to blame, because they were exposing themselves to the universal cosmology without an wholistic understanding of the spiritual warfare going on. However, most were definitely fishing for whatever could benefit them the most at the spur of the moment. Some saints who knew inuit cultures were surprised that inuit priests could name and angels (like Gabriel) and foretell their presence when monks from russian were coming to alaska. So basically, we're all operating in the same cosmology (some pagans actually followed and knew the God of Abraham) but you're choosing to follow the wrong personages which will fuck you up after you soul leaves the material world.
tl;dr - pagan larp is extremely gay and the Christ has shown us a world without whole burnt offerings

>>17434225
The thing is Don Quixote is set in the time of Cervantes. The main character is the only one larping as a medieval knight while the rest of the characters are dumbfounded by it. He even speaks in an old fashioned way which others find strange and amusing.

>>17434215
Yes. The edition in Le Livre de Poche lettres gothiques is in bilingual old French/new French with a big and very good foreword. If you can speak a little bit of French see for yourself how it fits with your level (right page).

>>17434101
Of course they are, written between 1387 and 1400. It's late medieval, but medieval nonetheless.
