Speculum Review for Huon of Bordeaux

Huon of Bordeaux, translated for the first time into English by Catherine M. Jones and William W. Kibler, has just received a glowing review in Speculum, the pre-eminent journal of medieval studies. 

Bill Burgwinkle of King’s College, Cambridge writes that “The publication of this lively and accurate translation of the thirteenth-century chanson de geste (epic) Huon de Bordeaux calls for some rejoicing.… This is an altogether excellent and welcome addition to the medieval library in English, and we hope that Italica Press and these translators might someday consider furnishing others in the same vein.”
