The text is provided by a translator who understands the spirit as well as the letter of the original and renders it with style.... [T]his translation should attract a wide audience of students and Arthurian enthusiasts.' -Speculum[A] significant contribution to the field of medieval studies [and] a pleasure to read.' -Library JournalThese are, above all, stories of courtly love and of knights tested in their devotion to chivalric ideals (with passion and duty often at odds); but they are also thrilling wonder stories of giants, wild men, tame lions, razor-sharp bridges and visits to the Other World.' -Washington Post Book WorldThis tastefully produced book will be the standard general translation for many years to come.' -ChoiceThis new translation brings to life for a new generation of readers the stories of King Arthur, Lancelot, Guinevere, Gawain, Perceval, Yvain, and the other 'knights and ladies' of Chretien de Troyes' famous romances.
