DESCRIPTION:
As enjoyable today as in the 12th century The Hanning and Ferrante edition of Marie de France's lais is satisfying on two levels. First, the translation and commentary are unsurpassed. Second, the twelve short tales are gems themselves.Translation of poetry from one modern language to another is difficult, let alone from. "Worth the extra money for this version" according to Ishums. Has very useful analysis after each poem. Wonderful translation.. Elizabeth said Four Stars. Interesting stories.
Ancient European stories come to life in the poetry of a now forgotten medieval woman writer.
