Siege of Jerusalem

"The appearance of Williams Boyarin's translation of the Siege of Jerusalem will be a welcome step in the recent reconsideration of that fourteenth-century poem, which was famously characterized by Ralpha Hanna as "the chocolate-covered tarantula" of alliterative poetry. After decades of relative neglect, in the past ten years The Siege of Jerusalem has come to seem quite timely in its frank parading of East-west violence, religious war, and cultural bigotry. This translation will allow the poem to move into undergraduate classrooms, where it will sit uneasily but productively alongside such texts as Chaucer's Prioress's Tale." --From publisher's note.
