At that point, soup-which was referred to as “restaurant,” meaning “something restoring”-was sold by street vendors as the cure for exhaustion. Soup’s cultural status as something healing and restorative has its roots in 16th century France. (prior to developing the techniques for making watertight vessels, soup simply wasn’t possible to make). ![]() Soup, meanwhile, has been around for millennia-scientists have found clay vessels capable of holding soup that they’ve dated to as early as 20,000 B.C.E. The vision of the chivalrous knight riding around to defend damsels in distress emerged as part of the medieval European literary tradition and was later amplified and popularized by writers and artists during the Romantic era. It’s worth noting that Despereaux’s conception of the knight in shining armor is rooted in 19th century Romantic ideas about what medieval knights were and how they behaved toward women-real medieval knights certainly wore armor, but they were often frightening figures known for looting cities and raping women. The Tale of Despereaux takes place in an entirely fictional world, but the story draws heavily on the idealized “knight in shining armor” trope and more generally on medieval imagery. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He was said to have been imprisoned many times during the War of the Roses (he variously supported both sides) though he denied all crimes. A likely candidate is Sir Thomas Malory of Newbold Revel, whose life story is rather obscure though he was identified as a “knight prisoner” in the literature (“Sir Thomas Malory”). ![]() The name Sir Thomas Malory was made famous by the chronicles of King Arhur (published by William Caxton in 1485), though scholars have not definitively idenfied him. Many authors since the 19th-century revival of the legend have used Malory as their principal source (“Le Morte d’Arthur”). Today, this is one of the best-known works of Arthurian literature. In order to tell a “complete” story of Arthur from his conception to his death, Malory compiled, rearranged, interpreted and modified material from various French and English sources. Le Morte d’Arthur (originally spelled Le Morte Darthur, ungrammatical Middle French for “The Death of Arthur”) is a 15th-century Middle English prose reworking by Sir Thomas Malory of tales about the legendary King Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, Merlin and the Knights of the Round Table-along with their respective folklore. “The Death of Arthur” by John Garrick, 1862. ![]() ![]() ![]() "A timely indictment of the way our society treats women's anger."
