Translators for FRETS (French of England
This series aims at producing translations of use both to scholars and students and to broaden the range of available texts for reading from the few very well known works of the French of England (such as Marie de France's lais and the Chanson de Roland) to the many other fine and important, but very often under-researched and not previously translated, texts in the French of England. For more on this series and its editorial protocols, see Publications.
