Moult a Sans Et Vallour: Studies in Medieval French Literature in Honor of William W. Kibler (Faux Titre)

William W. Kibler is one of the most productive and versatile medievalists of his generation. Some scholars and students think of him primarily as a specialist in the medieval epic, whereas others consider him to be an Arthurian scholar. He is of course both, but he is also much more: a consummate philologist and editor of texts and also a prolific and accomplished translator. Above all, those who know him best know him as an extraordinarily generous and modest man. The present volume represents an effort by thirty medievalists, specialists in fields as diverse as William Kibler's interests, to indicate our respect for him, aptly described in the foreword as "scholar, teacher, friend."
