A Medieval Dialogue of Martin Le Franc

A rhyming English translation of Martin Le Franc’s
Complainte du livre du Champion des dames a maistre Martin Le Franc son acteur by Dr. Steven Millen Taylor, Ph.D. and Olivia Gatti Taylor M.A., with support from Dr. Marisa Gatti-Taylor Ph.D.

Martin Le Franc, a cleric born in Normandy ca. 1410, was deeply involved with his fifteenth-century contemporaries, both religious and secular, participating in and writing about the controversial issues of his day – including, most notably, the defense of women and of the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception.  At the same time, however, he understood that his perspective would not be appreciated fully until long after his death."
