Opis

This is a new critical edition of A Famylyer Dyaloge of the Freende and the Felaw, a late 15th-century translation of the Latin work Dialogus familiaris amici et sodalis (c. 1425) by Alain Chartier. The prose work forcefully laments the ruinous conditions in France brought about by the corruption and vices of the rulers, army, and common people in the early 15th century.

Recenzje

'It is good to have this work in print ... and deepens the debt mediaevalists owe to Margaret Blayney, whose earlier volumes of Alain Chartier have already appeared in this series ... this is a careful and interesting edition which will reward any informed reader amply.' Medium Aevum
