- Summary
- Vagabond king, criminal, young gallant - most of the biographical details about this outstanding 15th-century French poet's life come from police records - yes, they did exist. Less is known about his poetry simply because it was difficult to understand. His two major poems, however, "The Legacy" and "The Testament," with their use and deliberate abuse of medieval form, their satire, eroticism and deeply felt passion for life, are among the most masterful works of the age. This edition which includes French originals and Peter Dale's translations on facing pages has won considerable acclaim
