The Complete Romances of Chrétien de Troyes: The Complete Romances of Chretien de Troyes
"Chretien is where the literary tradition of the Arthurian romance can be seen to begin.... His poems are the earliest we have that portray knights errant questing through dangerous forests to challenge unknown opponents and to learn the meaning of love.... Staines [also] provides the first, and only, English translation of "Guillaume d'Angeleterre" [and] it is very good to have it available." —Times Literary Supplement
