The "Alexandreis" of Walter of Chatilon A Twelfth-Century Epic (The Middle Ages Series) Hardcover - 1996
by Walter of Chatillon, Walter
First line
Book One invests the king with arms and sceptre when Aristotle's holy draught has filled him.
From the rear cover
David Townsend's translation - the first ever into English verse - affords modern readers a vivid sense of the aesthetic appeal and sophisticated artistry of Walter's poem. A concise introduction sets out the poem's background and significance in literary history, while also suggesting how Walter's text resonates with the literary sensibilities of our own times. Townsend's explanatory notes, adapted in large part from glosses in the surviving manuscripts, allow modern audiences a remarkable glimpse into the ways in which medieval readers of the Alexandreis must have understood the poem.
