Owing to the rich storehouse of information it contains, the poetry
of Venantius Fortunatus (c. 535--600) has long been mined as a
historical source for Merovingian society, a focus that overshadows
an appreciation of the poems' literary value. This volume, offering
free-verse translations of Fortunatus' personal poetry, remains
faithful to the historical sweep of the poet's lines while paying
attention to the literary qualities that make these poems
masterpieces of their kind. The volume includes an overview of late
antique Gaul, Fortunatus' biography, interpretations of the poems,
prosopographical introductions, maps, bibliography, and indices.
