Renowned poet Fleur Adcock here provides modern verse translations
of the complete work of two of the most exciting poets of the
twelfth century, Hugh Primas of Orleans and the so-called Archpoet,
beside their Latin originals. Included are witty epigrams,
treatments of classical themes, poems on religious and
ecclesiastical topics, depictions of low life, begging-poems, and
the Archpoet's famous Confession. The work is characterised by its
liveliness and its touches of satire and coarse realism, features
which Fleur Adcock captures superbly in her modern renderings.
There are textual notes, explanatory notes, a historical note, and
an introduction. This unique resource will appeal not only to
medievalists but to all lovers of poetry.
