I am interested in medieval poetry. Does anyone know of any web sites
that have some texts of modern English translations of Medieval poetry?
Thanks

I should imagine most of those modern translations are within copyright.
I suggest you go to a good bookshop, and see what they have on Chaucer
to start with. Then see what else they have on the shelves.

But, you don't say which country you are interested in, which time
frame, or which authors.

HAHAHAHA

I got for medieval poestry 8,980,000 for . (0.38 seconds)


Actually I found often you often get better results by making a spelling
mistake.

Chaucer has some nice dirty bits.

Wonderful scholarship! In my time it was an underground
book with Chaucer on the left-hand page and a modern
rendition on the right. So handy for homework translations.
