Items related to Medieval Epic and Romance: An Anthology of English...
English and French medieval literature is best known to modern readers through two genres that dominate its early and later history: epic poetry and romance. In modern English versions by two award-winning translators and scholars of the period, this volume makes available for the first time under a single cover four of the major texts of these traditions: Beowulf, The Song of Roland, Chretien de Troyes' Yvain or The Knight with the Lion, and the complete Lais of Marie de France. In addition, Medieval Epic and Romance contains some less known but eminently worthy works that illustrate the variety and depth of medieval epic and romance as literary forms: Havelok, Guillaume de Machaut's The Taking of Alexandria (a Lengthy selection), and The Chatelaine de Vergi. Like its companion volume, Medieval Legends (also from College Publishing), this book includes an extensive apparatus designed to assist the beginning and advanced student of the literary Middle Ages.
