This Yale University Press edition presents Burton Raffel’s modern verse translation of Chrétien de Troyes’ twelfth-century Arthurian romance. The narrative follows Yvain, a knight of the Round Table, as he navigates themes of chivalry, love, and redemption after abandoning his wife to pursue martial glory. Raffel’s translation preserves the rhythmic vitality and courtly elegance of the original Old French text, offering an accessible entry point into the foundational literature of the Middle Ages.
