Beschreibung:
First published in 2002. Jean Froissart is probably the best known medieval historians. His Chronicle (of the Hundred Years War) is among the top ten historical works in western civilization. In his own time, though, he was better known as a poet. This is the first dual language anthology including excepts from Chroniques, as well as several of his verse and prose.
