Summary "Torrent of Portyngale" by E. Adam is a historical romance re-edited from a unique manuscript in the 15th century. The story revolves around the knight Torrent, who embarks on a quest filled with various challenges and battles to gain the love of the fair Desonelle, the daughter of King Calamond. The narrative is set against a backdrop of medieval chivalry, showcasing themes of valor, treachery, and romantic love as Torrent faces a series of formidable giants and other adversaries. The opening of the romance introduces the context for Torrent's adventures, beginning with background on the manuscript itself and its philological significance. It establishes that the story originates from a time when medieval romance poetry was beginning to decline, and the structure involves a tail-rhymed twelve-line stanza typical of the period. The early chapters outline Torrent’s initial accolades, detailing his battles against a slumbering giant and dragons, leading to his eventual pursuit of Desonelle against the machinations of envious figures. This sets the stage for a tale steeped in chivalric contests and romantic endeavors framed by divine intervention and moral considerations typical of medieval literature.
