Omschrijving
New edition and modern English translation of the Anglo-Norman version of the story of Haveloc - one of the most popular of the Middle Ages.
Thoroughgoing and reliable.. Here is the essential Haveloc in a single volume.
There is no doubt that this fine edition and translation.will establish itself as the standard edition.
A useful tool for whoever is interested in the story of Haveloc.
A welcome publication. Not only does it provide a new edition and translation of MS H of the Anglo-Norman lay (a text last edited in 1888), as well as a close comparison with MS P, but it also brings together the various shorter versions of the legend in French, Middle English, and Latin. On the whole, the translations are accurate and natural, and the commentary provides a good starting point for further criticism.
