Based on the latest critical edition of the text, this volume features a new, accessible English prose translation of the poem, complete with explanatory notes.

Barbara N. Sargent-Baur is a professor emerita in the Department of French and Italian Languages and Literatures at the University of Pittsburgh.

‘Barbara Sargent-Baur’s double companion to Beroul deserves widespread recognition as the most erudite English translatio of Tristran of the twenty-first century.’

Sandro Sticca, Department of Romance Languages and Literatures, Binghamton University:

“Barbara Sargent-Baur’s translation renders into English the nuances and subtleties of the Beroul text while offering clear and lucid translations of the most notoriously difficult and contentious textual passages.”
