Reading Chivalry | Alexandria
Read Chivalry by James Branch Cabell. Redefining medieval romance through razor-sharp satire, Chivalry exposes how noble ideals mask base desires. Cabell's scandalous tale follows a knight whose quest for virtue reveals uncomfortable truths: our loftiest aspirations often disguise selfish motives. His bold suggestion that hypocrisy fuels social order remains startlingly relevant in our era of carefully curated public personas.
