The author has pulled together a lot of resources and presents them clearly...my problem is, I HATE Scott, Wordsworth, Malory etc, all of whom are quoted extensively to explain chivalry's rebirth in the eighteenth century.
Sounds like maybe this wasn't the best book for you. :) I understand not having any patience for Wordsworth's frequent silliness, and Scott can be a little wordy/boring, but why the Malory hate?
