5.0 out of 5 stars
Simply beautiful translation of Marie's delightful tales.,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: French Mediaeval Romances from the Lays of Marie de France (Kindle Edition)
I commend the volunteers who uploaded this item for online transmission. Now any student of the French language or seeker of female voices from Medieval times can download this item to their Kindle for free. This is a simply beautiful translation in what I would term 'high Victorian English' - very literate, almost like the style of Pyle's Robin Hood. But very easy to read, no chore to follow. This collection is a must for fans of Marie de France. Works such as this were NOT available when I studied advanced French courses forty years ago. Textbooks included verses of Francois Villon but nothing of Marie de France.
