Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes: “Many an argument did he have with the curate of his village (a learned man, and a graduate of Siguenza) as to which had been the better knight, Palmerin of England or Amadis of Gaul.”
Monsignor Quixote by Graham Greene: “Amadis of Gaul, Palmerin of England, Roland...' And listen to The Communist Manifesto again—you can't deny that this man Marx was a true follower of my ancestor.”
The Essays by Michel de Montaigne: “for as for the Lancelot of the Lake, the Amadis of Gaul, the Huon of Bordeaux, and such farragos, by which children are most delighted with, I had never so much as heard their names, no more than I yet know what they contain…”
The Monk by Matthew Lewis: “Of this was Elvira so fully convinced, that She would have preferred putting into her Daughter's hands 'Amadis de Gaul,' or 'The Valiant Champion, Tirante the White;' and would sooner have authorised her studying the lewd exploits of 'Don Galaor,' or the lascivious jokes of the 'Damsel Plazer di mi vida.'”
