The Birth of Romance: An Anthology : Four Twelfth-Century Anglo-Norman Romances (Everyman's Library)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In this important anthology, Judy Weiss has translated three twelfth century Anglo-Norman works: "Amis and Amilun," "Romance of Horn," and "Haveloc." Forerunners of the great medieval Romances, these lays entertained the families of barons who accompanied William the Conqueror to Britain, incorporating the legends of their adopted land. These texts, here translated into English for the first time, are essential reading for anyone interested in the poetic riches of the courtly tradition.
