Bernat Metge

Opis

The story of Bernat Metge, a Catalan writer and contemporary of Chaucer is more than that of a mere scribe. An advisor to his King and Queen, his life and work were bound up with the Aragonese court and the intrigue surrounding it. This volume presents a translation of some of his work.

Recenzje

'As a breakthrough in the modern dissemination of Metge's masterpiece, Vernier's effort is most commendable: bridging over centuries of oblivion, it...provides [the reader] with an excellent translation... Metge is being introduced to a new wide readership in a distinguished way...' Nottingham Medieval Studies 'Richard Vernier sets out the turbulent political background in a lively and elegant introduction and his translation [...] combines down-to-earth zest with fluency.'
