The fullest version in English (surviving in a single fifteenth-century manuscript) of the twelfth-century Anglo-Norman romance by Hue de Rotelande. The three English versions testify to the story's popularity. Ipomadon A, the version edited here, is a tail-rhyme romance of 8,890 lines. Although the three English versions were edited by E. Kölbing in 1889 (in German), this is the first complete English edition. It includes a full comparison of the different versions, explanatory notes, and glossary.
Purdie does a very good job with Ipomadon. * English Studies *
... a successful edition of a most attractive poem. * English Studies *
The introduction is particularly lengthy and rich. * English Studies *
A modern edition is thus greatly to be welcomed, and that now offered by Rhiannon Purdie represents a considerable scholarly achievement. * Notes and Queries *
