An adaptation of an Old French romance with parallel text, notes
and a detailed introduction. Some time in the first quarter of the
thirteenth century, Guillaume le Clerc composed the story of
Fergus, a romance in which the main character features as a "new"
Perceval in a realistically depicted Scottish landscape.
Shortlythereafter, perhaps as early as 1250, the story was
translated into Middle Dutch. The Ferguut, however, is an
adaptation of the Old French Fergus, rather than a slavish
translation. The result is a romance which possesses all the appeal
of the Old French Fergus, but at the same time reveals something of
the Middle Dutch romancer's tastes and techniques. This volume
offers the first ever English translation, facing a new edition of
thetext, and will thus bring this important work to a wider
audience; it is accompanied by an introduction, variants and
rejected readings, and critical notes. David F. Johnson is
Professor of English, Florida State University; Geert H.M.
Claassens is Professor of Middle Dutch Literature at the Katholieke
Universiteit Leuven, Belgium.
