Trade Review

‘…by the time readers finish perusing the illuminating, accessible, and authoritative introduction to his translation, they will be primed to like it [The Knight and the Barrel] too, and eager to jump into the text for themselves. With no small amount of finesse and dexterity, Tudor manages to make a tale about a terrible person, who endures physical suffering and social degradation, both inviting and engaging for the modern audience… As one reads Tudor’s insightful commentary and lively translation, one may be surprised that it has taken this long to reach a wider audience.’
