Reviews
'Jonathan Stavsky's translation of Le Bone Florence of Rome makes a significant contribution to the growing body of Middle English literature being made available to a new reading audience. Featuring a protagonist of uncommon virtue who, like Custance of Chaucer's Man of Law's Tale, preserves her integrity in the face of overwhelming odds, the tale of Florence is nothing short of inspiring. Stavsky's edition is likely to encourage lively discussions not only of the cultural, social and political significance of this extraordinary tale, but of a woman's ability to set the highest standard possible for compassion and courage.' - Professor Eve Salisbury, Western Michigan University
