## Bio

A French poet working sometime between 1160 and 1191, Chrétien wrote chivalric romances that seized on Arthurian material - Gawain, Perceval, the Grail - and shaped them into the forms that would define the genre for centuries. His major works included Erec and Enide, Lancelot, Perceval, and Yvain, each a narrative architecture so deliberate that scholars see in Yvain an early sketch of what the novel would become. He didn't invent Arthur, but he invented what Arthur meant: the code, the quest, the troubled knight. Medieval literature holds few names with a longer reach.
