Description
Violent, indignant, ribald and often brutally physical, Villon's verse has a formidable satiric thrust, and yet is also encompasses passages of poignant nostalgia and haunting lyric expression, culminating in his digressive autobiographical masterpiece, 'The Testament', which counts among the most popular texts of French poetry.

These are truly wonderful translations, fluent, musical, technically brilliant - could there be a better Villon in English?
