| Description: |
The oldest surviving metrical chronicle in vernacular French, written in the twelfth century and published in two volumes in 1888-9. |
| Synopsis: |
Published in two volumes for the Rolls Series between 1888 and 1889, this is the oldest surviving metrical chronicle in vernacular French. It was written by the Anglo-Norman poet and historian Geoffrei Gaimar (fl.1136-7), who lived in England at a time when French was still used among the aristocracy. The text is largely based on the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and also draws on various French, English and Latin sources. Gaimar's unique perspective breaks with the tradition of religious chronicles by offering the first secular account of the history of England. Edited by archivist and antiquary Sir Thomas Duffus Hardy (1804-78) and Charles Trice Martin (1842-1914), Volume 1 presents the original text while Volume 2 provides a translation into modern English. The work covers the period from the arrival of Cerdic in 495 to Henry I's death and includes the story of Havelok the Dane. |
