Pearl An Edition ith Verse Translation [Paperback]

“Reinforcing his position as the preeminent contemporary editor of the Pearl poems, Vantuono now furnishes readers with an edition of Pearl as well as a verse translation on pages facing the text. . . . Vantuono succeeds admirably in his editorial purposes, for he has crafted a book suitable for students and scholars alike. Such an edition, then, both illuminates Pearl's rich vision world and complements Vantuono’s . . . Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.” —Studies in the Age of Chaucer

 

“Pearl: An Edition With Verse Translation is a very helpful tool. It is most useful for its conservative Middle English text of Pearl and accompanying glossary, for its notes to the text, for Bibliography I, and . . . for its Introduction.” —The Medieval Review

 

William Vantuono is an independent scholar who has retired from teaching. He is the editor and translator ofSir Gawain and the Green Knight, Revised Edition (Notre Dame Press, 1999), and author ofThe Pearl Poems: An Omnibus Edition, The Pearl Poem in Middle and Modern English, and Old and Middle EnglishTexts with Accompanying Textual and Linguistic Apparatus.
