The twelve “lays” of Marie de France, the earliest known
French woman poet, are here presented in sprightly English
verse by translator David R. Slavitt. Traditional Breton folk
tales were the raw material for Marie de France’s lively but
profound considerations of betrayal and fidelity, love, death,
luck, and fate.
