This volume presents the first widely available edition in English of the medieval romance Blandin de Cornoalha, accompanied by a translation and introduction to the work. Composed in the second half of the fourteenth century by an anonymous author, the story offers an early recording of the Sleeping Beauty folktale, incorporated into the adventures of two knights. Many elements in this romance from the south of France are comic, suggesting that Blandin is not simply a tale of knights in battle, but also a parody of medieval romance in general.
Wendy Pfeffer, professor emerita at the University of Louisville and visiting scholar at the University of Pennsylvania, is internationally renowned for her books and articles on Occitan literature.
Margaret Burrell, retired from the University of Canterbury, NZ, has published on medieval French and Occitan literature.
