Chivalry

Chivalry is a witty and imaginative collection of tales that playfully reimagines the ideals of knights, honor, and romance. James Branch Cabell blends satire, fantasy, and adventure to explore how lofty codes of conduct clash with human desires and follies. With elegance and sly humor, these stories question whether true chivalry is ever possible—or if it exists only as a dream. First published in the early 20th century, Cabell’s writing won praise for its sophistication and cleverness, earning him a lasting place in American literature. For readers who enjoy Arthurian legends, romantic quests, and sharp social commentary wrapped in myth and fantasy, Chivalry offers a timeless and entertaining journey.
