Malory himself was ostensibly a member of the nobility, and yet he was accused of various crimes ranging from ambush to r*pe during his life, and he died in jail. This is one example of how the chivalric codes portrayed in the literature of the period were not adhered to as strongly in real life.This period was also characterized by the ‘war of the roses’ in which England was inflicted by a civil war, something that the homosocial bonds in the Arthurian court does not reflect, although the civil war with Mordred does.

To analyze why the poem corresponds to the genre of medieval romance we must go back to the time of the creation of the romanecero. The Romancero suggested, as it had done in the Golden Age, the imagination of the medievalizing poets of European and Hispanic Romanticism. During the 19th century the translations of these Spanish ballads to English, French and German were frequent. The romancero influenced some poems by Victor Hugo. In Austria Barbara Elisabeth Glück wrote a Romancero (1845) and in Germany Heinrich Heine imitated it with another Romanzero (1851).
The romance is a short epic-lyric poem intended for singing. It is Epic, because in romance it is narrated, something is told; Lyrical, because at the same time that story is impregnated with subjectivity (feelings, memories, dreams, etc.) of the poet and the story is then made singing.
But also in romances, as in the epic, often the Narration gives way to the word, to the discourse of the characters. The story is transformed into action, into drama. And so are these short poems integrated into Classical literary genres: the epic, the lyrical and the dramatic.
It would be a narrative because the storyteller is relaying the sequence of events
The sentence that uses the verbs correctly is D, since "the Land of the Horses" is the title of the novel (singular), thus the verb following adds a final -s.
A is wrong because of the same reason. "Four dogs and a Girl" is the title of the novel, so it should be followed by <em>has</em> instead of <em>have.</em>
B is wrong because War and Peace is just one novel. Therefore it should be followed by <em>is </em>rather than <em>are.</em>
C is wrong because, again, Lost Cities is the title of the novel, thus singular and should be followed by <em>describes.</em>
