Willard R. Trask
Willard R. Trask, one of the foremost translators of the day, and winner of the National Book Award for his translations of the first volume of Casanova's ,History of My Life,, has selected and translated a brilliant sampling of medieval lyric poetry from Provence, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. The authors include princes and monks, high-born ladies and professional troubadours, such immortals as Dante, FranÃ§ois Villon, and Walter von der Vogelwerde, as well as those whose identities are lost to histroy. Many of the lyrics are translated here for the first time.
