Book Synopsis
Estoire des Engleis is a rhymed chronicle of English history written in the British Isles in the 12th century. It is the oldest surviving example of historiography in the French vernacular, and is presented here in full with a facing-page translation in modern English prose and extensive explanatory notes.

Trade Review
The field of Anglo-Norman ... owes a very great deal to Professor Short, and this secure and definitive edition, which benefits from all of Short's vast scholarship and learning while remaining entirely accessibly to those who may wish to begin work on the text, is to be welcomed with real gratitude. * Laura Ashe, English Historical Review *
