Eustache Deschamps studied under the tutelage of Guillaume de Marchault, traveled in Syria, Palestine, and Egypt-where he was said to have been made a slave-and eventually become recognized as one of the great French medieval poets. He was the first writer to dissociate lyric poetry from its musical setting and his witty perceptions comment on nearly all aspects of daily life: from women's underwear to gluttonous diners, from praise of famous writers to scorn for the unscrupulous of all ranks, from the delights of youth to the horrors of war. This volume provides facing-page, dual-language translations of Deschamps engaging, amusing, and accessible poems, gleaning from the mountains of verse the poems, gleaning from the mountains of verse the most edifying and historically relevant. Copious notes, glossaries, and a full bibliography enhance this elegant translation.

The first major French poet to disassociate lyric poetry from its musical setting, Eustache Deschamps gives poetry a value independent of music. This work, Deschamps' ars poetica, examines many aspects of medieval attitudes towards poetry as well as the historical conditions of medieval life. Despite remaining incomplete, L'art de dictier is considered remarkable for its acceptance of the vernacular, its deemphasis of medieval setting, and its author's place in historical poetic tradition. In fact, Geoffrey Chaucer borrowed extensively from his French contemporary, and Deschamps returned the compliment, calling him "grand translateur" in his "Ballade adresse a Geoffrey Chaucer."

This court poet, disciple of Guillaume de Machaut, contemporary of Chaucer, and mentor of Christine de Pizan, has received little critical attention in this century. Although the poetry was admired during his life and has provided modern historians like Huizinga with a rich mine of details about quotidien life and historical events in the late 14th century, no single volume has recently been devoted to his study. This collection reflects the growing interest in Deschamps, with critical essays by scholars in a variety of fields. Among them are William Calin, Earl Jeffrey Richards, and Sylvia Huot; among the topics are Le Miroir de Mariage, Deschamps' relationship to Chaucer, Christine de Pizan, folklore, and food.
