An excellent translation (which) keeps readers close to the mentality of the original author. MODERN LANGUAGE REVIEW An excellent translation by an experienced scholar. MEDIUM AEVUMA superb translation and edition of arguably the most important Iwein manuscript. Edward's translation represents the greatest contribution to scholars and, especially, to the many non-Germanists who are dependent on reliable English translations. (This) very fine English rendering is, in terms of scientific quality, superior to all other Iwein translations into modern English or German. Edwards' quite exceptional translation and careful edition of MS B make this volume essential for all serious scholars of Hartmann's Iwein and the medieval Ywain tradition. ARTHURIANA, A stunning translation that somehow manages to achieve the impossible: it sounds both medieval and contemporary.
