An invaluable translation
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
The life of the maid is not only well told by the author, but the translator, the late Albert Guerard (himself an historian and critic of great stature), has included an introduction and notes about the life, and the thoughts of Michelet that are important to the modern reader. This short work is well worth owning. Anyone interested in France, the Middle Ages, the Hundred Years War, or the life of an important woman in Christendom will find this, now classic work, a gemstone.
