The Romance of William and the Werewolf

English

By (author): Michael Smith

A magical, long-forgotten masterpiece, The Romance of William and the Werewolf is the story of two princes who overcame their wicked family to reclaim their inheritance and build a society based on tolerance and equality.

Originally titled William of Palerne, it was first translated from French and then converted into an alliterative Middle English romance by an obscure Gloucestershire scribe in c. 1350. It has never been translated into modern English until now.

Written over 600 years ago, it is a multi-layered tale of poverty, justice, exile and 'otherness'; its themes of inheritance, the freedom of women, fairness and forgiveness, familial responsibility and social class, speak to us just as clearly today, and challenge us to reflect upon our class-driven politics and the corruption, entitlement and indifference which underlie it.

As with Michael Smiths other translations Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and King Arthurs Death The Romance of William and the Werewolf will feature a detailed historical introduction, a comprehensive glossary and notes, and Michaels own rich and beautiful linocut illustrations.
