The Romance of Ydersurvives in a unique manuscript in Cambridge
University Library, and has only once been edited; no translation
survives. Yet it is a highly interesting work, reflecting a
tradition which reaches back to the beginnings of Arthurian romance
in the early 12th century; it is linked to the famous Arthurian
sculpture on the cathedral at Modena, and contains an episode which
foreshadows the temptation scene in Sir Gawain and the Green
Knight, while elsewhere Celtic material is much in evidence as the
basis of the tale. It is also close in style and sometimes in
content to the work of Chretien de Troyes. Dr Adams' text provides
a clear version of an often corrupt original, and the facing
translation serves to illuminate the text further, enabling this
neglected work to take its rightful place in the ranks of Arthurian
literature.
