About this book

Jean de Saintré is the intriguing story of a young knight's training, his first love, and his disillusionment. It teems with details of armor, jousting and tournaments, heraldry and crusading—and also with a cheerful, and unexpected, eroticism.

Reviews

"Roberta L. Krueger and Jane H. M. Taylor have given this text a new and approachable form. . . . The translation makes available a rich source for those interested in the culture of chivalry in the later Middle Ages."—The Medieval Review

"This new translation of a famous fifteenth-century prose romance by two eminent scholars in the field of French medieval literature is most welcome. . . . This work will be of great use, not only to undergraduate and postgraduate students, but also to non-specialists in the field who are being given the chance to acquaint themselves with a work that has been hailed as one of the forerunners of the modern novel."—French Studies

"Jean de Saintré is an important late medieval text that contributes to our understanding of the development of the modern novel, and offers important information about material culture, conventional gender roles, and social hierarchies in noble court culture. In addition to all that, it's really fun to read and now newly accessible in a fluent and colloquial English translation by Krueger and Taylor."—Peggy McCracken, University of Michigan

"A most welcome and excellent translation."—Mediaevistik
