Westrem, City University of New York -- Written some time in the 1170s, Walter of Chatillons Latin epic on the life of Alexander the Great loomed as large on literary horizons as the works of Jean de Meun, Dante, or Boccaccio. Within a few decades of its composition, the poem had become a standard text of the literary curriculum. Virtually all authors of the thirteenth through fifteenth centuries knew the poem. And an extraordinary two hundred surviving manuscripts, elaborately annotated, attest both to the popularity of the Alexandreis and to the care with which it was read by its medieval audience. -- Now David Townsends splendid translationthe first ever into English verse affords modern readers a vivid sense of the aesthetic appeal and sophisticated artistry of Walters poem. A concise introduction sets out the poems background and significance in literary history, while also suggesting how Walters text resonates with the literary sensibilities of our own times. Townsends explanatory notes, adapted in large part from glosses in the surviving manuscripts, allow modern audiences a remarkable glimpse into the ways in which medieval readers of the Alexandreis must have understood the poem.
