Known for her fine translations of octosyllabic narrative verse, Patricia Terry presents translations of four major practitioners of this dominant literary form of twelfth- and thirteenth-century France. Her introduction discusses the varying views of women and love in the texts and their place in the courtly tradition. From Chrétien de Troyes Terry includes an early work, Philomena, here translated into verse for the first time. The other great writer of this period was Marie de France, the first woman in the European narrative tradition. Lanval is newly translated for this edition, which also features four of Marie's other poems. The collection further includes The Reflection by Jean Renart, known for his realistic settings; and the anonymous Chatelaine of Vergi, a fatalistic and perhaps more modern depiction of love.

"These are elegant, sprightly, witty versions of five lais by Marie de France plus other texts central to the courtly tradition. To translate from Old French into today's idiom in verse is a daunting feat; Patricia Terry meets the challenge with intelligence and brio. Ideal for classroom use."—William Calin, author of The French Tradition and the Literature of Medieval England "Here are irresistibly engaging tales of romantic love with almost uncanny psychological underlayers. Terry's translation remains true to the literal text as it brilliantly conveys to modern audiences the pulse and passions of life and love."—Harriet Spiegel, editor and translator of Marie de France: Fables

Download We Made a Wildflower Meadow Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The charming story of how a wildlife enthusiast designed and planted a wildflower meadow. Meadows support large populations of plants, insects, birds and other animals, and are extremely important in maintaining the ecological diversity of our countryside. Many of the species that farmers and gardeners consider to be weeds, such as the oxeye daisy, are actually host to numerous other forms of wildlife. Inspired by the idea of doing something positive for their local environment, Yvette Verner and her husband Mike bought a small field close to their home in the south of England. With the bountiful assistance of nature they created a beautiful wildflower meadow, which now attracts a wide variety of wildlife, including badgers, deer and a multitude of birds and butterflies. In We Made a Wildflower Meadow, Yvette tells the heart-warming story of how they designed the layout of their meadow, and then selected and planted wild flowers, trees and hedges. Filled with practical advice, this delightful read also describes the many benefits to creating a space dedicated to helping the environment and wildlife-watching. Join Yvette and Mike on their journey, and delight in the wonders of supporting these important wildlife habitats.
