Aprašymas

Le Bone Florence of Rome is a Middle English tail-rhyme romance whose unique copy dates to the late fifteenth century. An analogue of Chaucer’s Man of Law’s Tale, it follows the adventures of a heroine who survives multiple exiles, sexual harassments and false accusations. This fresh edition aims better to reflect the manuscript layout and metrical peculiarities of Florence. For the first time, a complete line-by-line translation makes this text accessible to readers at all levels, providing clear and concise explanation for the romance’s linguistic and metrical features. This is a comprehensive analysis of the literary relationships and local connections of the romance, together with a thorough description of its manuscript context, correcting several omissions and imprecise claims made by previous editions and studies.
