The two romances translated in this volume, the Roman de Thbes and the Roman dEneas, form, along with the Roman de Troie by Benot de Sainte-Maure, a group of texts that are of considerable importance within French and European literature and culture. Composed between c. 1150 and c. 1165, these romances create a bridge between classical tales (the Thbes is based on the Thebaid of Statius, the Eneas on the Aeneid of Virgil) and the burgeoning vernacular romances, represented especially by Chrtien de Troyes. As a group, these three works are frequently known as the romances of antiquity (romans dantiquit) and they introduce into French literature the dominant contemporary themes of chivalry and love. They are set against a feudal and courtly background in which themes such as war, prowess inheritance and the possession of land are crucial. As they adapt their Latin sources, these romances, especially the Eneas, exploit the works of Ovid, especially in the presentation of the theme of love, and they also make use of the principles of rhetorical composition as studied in the schools (both romances contain remarkable examples of descriptions of both people and objects). This is the first volume to contain two complete translations of the three romances of antiquity. The translation of the Roman dEneas is the first English translation of this text since that of John A. Yunck in 1974.

[B]eautifully produced... this book triumphantly completes the set of romans dantiquit: the stories of Thebes, Troy, and Aeneas. Jane Bliss, Speculum The translations themselves combine the virtues of being usable as a crib with being as fluent as is possible If they encourage a wider readership for these romances, as they surely will, that is very much to the good. Helen Cooper, Archiv fr das Studium der neueren Sprachen und Literaturen
