About this title

Review:

"There must be room for a rhymed verse translation of "Lancelot"; I doubt if we shall see a better one."--"French Studies"

"Cline has managed a tour de force . . . her lilting translations are trend-setting in the translation of medieval material."--"Translation Review"

"It certainly is a tour de force . . . for those who prefer verse, this presentation has much to recommend it."--"Modern Language Review"

"Cline's verse gives far more a sense that Chretien composed poetic narrative. Highly recommended."--"Forum for Modern Language Studies""
