Book Description
Excerpt from Gallantry: Dizain Des Fetes Galantes These paragraphs, dignified by the revised edition of Gallantry and spuriously designated An Introduction, are nothing more than a series of notes and haphazard discoveries in preparation of a thesis. That thesis, if it is ever written, will bear a title something academically like The Psychogenesis of a Poet; or Cabell the Masquerader. For it is in this guise - sometimes selfdeclared, sometimes self-concealed, but always as the persistent visionary - that the author of some of the finest prose of our day has given us the key with which (to lapse into the jargon of verse) he has unlocked his heart. On the technical side alone, it is easy to establish Cabell's poetic standing. There are, first of all, the quantity of original rhymes that are scattered through the dozen volumes which Cabell has latterly (and significantly) classified as Biography. Besides these interjections which do duty as mottoes, chapter-headings, tail pieces, dedications, interludes and sometimes relevant songs, there is the volume of seventy-five "adaptations" in verse, From the Hidden Way, published in 1916. Here Cabell, even in his most natural role, declines to show his face and amuses himself with a new set of masks labelled Alessandro de Medici, Antoine Riczi, Nicolas de Caen, Theodore Passerat and other fabulous minnesingers whose verses were created only in the mind of Cabell.

Book Description
"Gallantry: Dizain des Fetes Galantes" is a captivating novel authored by James Branch Cabell. Set in the fictional French province of Poictesme, the book weaves a mesmerizing tapestry of romance, and chivalry and other one whimsical fantasy. The story follows the protagonist, Manuel, a simple innkeeper's son, as he embarks on a journey of self-discovery and ambition. Determined to ascend the social ladder and win the heart of a noblewoman, the beguiling Countess Melicent, Manuel's adventures are laden with humor, satire, and allegorical undertones. Cabell's writing style is poetic and laced with wit, drawing inspiration from the 18th-century French rococo paintings known as "fêtes galantes." He skillfully blends elements of romance and fantasy, presenting a compelling portrayal of medieval courtly life while subtly critiquing societal conventions. "Gallantry" is not merely a tale of courtly love but also a commentary on the complexities of human desires, aspirations, and the illusions of nobility. Through Manuel's quest for gallantry, Cabell masterfully explores themes of ambition, identity, and the follies of romance. This literary gem continues to enchant readers with its graceful prose, intricate narrative, and timeless reflections on the human condition, making it a remarkable and enduring work in the realm of fantasy literature.
