| Summary | "King Horn, Floriz and Blauncheflur, The Assumption of Our Lady" by J. Rawson Lumby et al. is a compilation of medieval English literary texts, likely written in the 13th century. This work features three distinct narratives, including the tale of King Horn, which is considered one of the earliest examples of English romance poetry. It explores themes such as love, honor, and courageous exploits, showcasing the adventures of Horn as he navigates challenges in his pursuit of true love. The opening of this compilation sets the stage by introducing "King Horn," describing its context as part of the early English literature revival, and noting its preservation in multiple manuscripts. The introductory sections highlight the contrasting versions of the story, emphasizing the simplicity and directness of the English rendition compared to the more elaborate French adaptations. It outlines Horn’s character, his trials, and the relationships involved, establishing a framework that suggests both a historical significance and an entertaining narrative that intertwines themes of love and heroism.
