Böcker av Jeffrey Burghauser

One of America's foremost poets and teachers of poetry delivers a modern version of the anonymous late fourteenth century Middle English epic-a riveting fever-dream of high adventure and monstrous cruelty. * Advance Praise: "Even medievalists will have a hard time believing this poem is real and not a screenplay written by Quentin Tarantino while tripping on Titus Andronicus. Burghauser's poetic translation of the 14th-century Middle English fantasy of the first-century Roman conquest of Jerusalem will have you sitting on the edge of your seat, ready to run... and yet captured by the craft of the rhyme, the trumpets of elephants, and the stench of the siege. A tale horrible for its tragedy, still sadly contemporary." --RACHEL FULTON BROWN, Associate Professor of History, University of Chicago, and founder of the Dragon Common Room for Christian Poets
