James Branch Cabell's Chivalry is a witty fantasy built around the old codes of romance, loyalty, and desire. Set in Cabell's imagined medieval world, it treats courtly love as something both noble and absurd, mixing elegant prose with sly satire and a taste for literary play.
Readers drawn to classic fantasy with a skeptical edge will find plenty to enjoy. Chivalry is less interested in battle than in manners, longing, and the stories people tell themselves about honor. It suits readers who like lyrical writing, romantic irony, and a book that keeps smiling at its own ideals. Chivalry suits readers who like lyrical fantasy that treats ideals as fragile, performative, and strangely human beneath the costume of romance and wit.
