Though the book is over one hundred years old, and I wonder how much of the information in it is true (as in that it hasn't been disproven), this was a fun little read. I'm not sure things are so cut and dry enough to say that Arthurian Romance of the 12th century filled the exact hole left by Charlemagne Romance, but the emphasis the historical settings in which a piece was written has even the slightest affect on that piece is very welcomed (especially in modern day scholarship where only the scholar's opinion counts in interpretation). Hopefully soon this type of scholarship (together with what we've learned over the past century) will be revived in academia.
