Reviews

This volume will prove a welcome and indeed necessary addition to the library of anyone engaged in the serious study of twelfthcentury rhythmical poetry, and of the literary career of Walter of Châtillon. Professor Traill is to be warmly commended for this present contribution. * David Townsend, Editionen in der Kritik *

Author Information

Born and raised in Scotland, David A. Traill received his M.A. in Classics from St Andrews in 1964 and, after teaching for a year at McGill University, Montreal, went on to study for a Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley. He taught at the University of California, Davis, from 1970 till his retirement in 2012. He is perhaps best known for his biography Schliemann of Troy: Treasure and Deceit (1995) and his role in bringing Schliemann's archaeological reporting into question.
