Marie de France: Poetry: A Norton Critical Edition (Norton Critical Editions)

While it is easy to find copies of MDF's lais, it was nice to find a book that contained the fables and St. Patrick's Purgatory as well.

Great collection of a very key player in Midieval Literature.

Great condition, needed for fem writers class

Dorothy Gilbert's translations of Marie de France's verse narratives are lucid and lovely. Knowing that I am an admirer of Marie de France, my husband, Irvin Yalom, ordered this for me recently through Amazon and gave it to me as a much appreciated gift. I am so impressed with Gilbert's ability to translate in such a readable fashion, and to to find appropriate rhymes for the original. This makes a perfect introduction into medieval romance.

I ordered the XL and it fits as expected.
