The Middle English Breton Lays by Anne Laskaya

The Middle English Breton Lays by Anne Laskaya

This volume is the first to make the Middle English Breton lays available to teachers and students of the Middle Ages. Breton lays were produced by or after the fashion of Marie de France in the twelfth century and claim to beliterary versions of lays sung by ancient Bretons to the accompaniment of the harp.The poems edited in this volume are considered distinctlyEnglishBreton lays because of their focus on the family values of late medieval England. With the volume's helpful glosses, notes, introductions, and appendices, the door is opened for students to study Middle English poetry and the medieval family alike.

Anne Laskaya is Associate Professor of English at the University of Oregon. Eve Salisbury is Professor of English at Western Michigan University where she teaches the works of late medieval poets—Dante, Boccaccio, Chaucer, Gower, Christine de Pizan, and Marie de France—Middle English and Arthurian literature, Medieval Literary Theory, British Literature I, and Medieval Drama. She has also taught a graduate seminar on medieval marriage at the Newberry Library in Chicago.
