Chivalry by James Branch Cabell is a collection of humorous and ironic tales centered on the exploits of Dom Manuel and his descendants. Set in the mythical French province of Poictesme, the stories blend medieval romance with modern satire, critiquing ideals of heroism, love, and morality. Cabell’s ornate prose and philosophical wit invite readers to question romanticized notions of the past while enjoying richly imaginative storytelling.
