The Arthurian verse-novel "Wigalois," written by the German
knight Wirnt von Grafenberg in the early years of the thirteenth
century, tells a story which was well known in the medieval period,
appearing in eight versions of four languages. This first English
translation makes accessible to a new audience the adventure-filled
tale of the hero's knightly education and quest for honor, and his
ultimate recognition of Sir Gawain as his long-lost father. The
translator's introduction compares Wirnt's work with other
treatments of the Wigalois material in France, England, and Italy;
discusses the German sources and reception of the novel; and offers
a careful literary analysis.
