A New History of Medieval French Literature

Translator’s Note

translator’s note In translating the present work, I have attempted to stay close to the original text while giving it an American style. For the major works cited by Jacqueline Cerquiglini-Toulet, I have used existing translations, which are included in the bibliography. For the other numerous texts quoted throughout this work, I have supplied my own translations. I would like to thank Yvonne Lucero and Peter Dreyer for their invaluable proofreading and stylistic suggestions as well as Florian Preisig, who gave up much of his own research time to tirelessly read and reread this translation for content as well as form. Any remaining typographical or stylistic errors fall directly to me. This page intentionally left blank A New History of Medieval French Literature This page intentionally left blank ...
