Eustache Deschamps studied under the tutelage of Guillaume de
Marchault, traveled in Syria, Palestine, and Egypt-where he was
said to have been made a slave-and eventually become recognized as
one of the great French medieval poets. He was the first writer to
dissociate lyric poetry from its musical setting and his witty
perceptions comment on nearly all aspects of daily life: from
women's underwear to gluttonous diners, from praise of famous
writers to scorn for the unscrupulous of all ranks, from the
delights of youth to the horrors of war. This volume provides
facing-page, dual-language translations of Deschamps engaging,
amusing, and accessible poems, gleaning from the mountains of verse
the poems, gleaning from the mountains of verse the most edifying
and historically relevant. Copious notes, glossaries, and a full
bibliography enhance this elegant translation.
