Philippa Bright's monumental, parallel-text edition of the Anglo-Latin Gesta Romanorum is the first modern version of this important work. Given its breadth of learning and overall excellence, this edition is likely to become the first place to which scholars turn for information about the Gesta ... This is a major achievement and its contribution to medieval literary studies cannot be overestimated. * Rebecca Krug, Speculum * It is only with this new edition,however, that it has become possible to assess as we can now, by using Bright's brief,but very helpful notes on sources, analogues, and parallel transmission, the broaderGesta Romanorum context of this signifi cant text from late medieval England. * Edition *
