Table of ContentsIntroduction Book One Book Two Appendix 1 How Nectanebus fathered Alexander Appendix 2 Aristotle's advice to Alexander Appendix 3 Jacques de Longuyon's excursus on the Nine WorthiesReviewsNigel Bryant's translation of Jehan Wauquelin's The Medieval Romance of Alexander, is, without a doubt, a very important book. This text fills a gap because it supplies the first English translation of what is inarguably the most important French text of the Alexander romance. THE MEDIEVAL REVIEW When one reads this excellent translation, Bryant's comments about Waquelin's craft ring true, for Waquelin has an excellent sense of pace, rhythm and proportion. [...] Highly recommended. CHOICE Author InformationNIGEL BRYANT is well known for his lively and accurate versions of medieval French works. His translations of Chrétien de Troyes' Perceval and all its continuations and of the extraordinary late Arthurian romance Perceforest have been major achievements; he has also translated Jean le Bel's history of the early stages of the Hundred Years War, and the 13th- and 14th-century biographies of William Marshal and Bertrand du Guesclin.
