David Staines is Professor of English at the University of Ottawa, widely published scholar, and general editor of the New Canadian Library.
Chretien is where the literary tradition of the Arthurian romance
can be seen to begin. . . . His poems are the earliest we have that
portray knights errant questing through dangerous forests to
challenge unknown opponents and to learn the meaning of love. . . .
Staines [also] provides the first, and only, English translation of
"Guillaume d'Angeleterre" [and] it is very good to have it
available.
