"Reinforcing his position as the preeminent contemporary editor of the Pearl poems, Vantuono now furnishes readers with an edition of Pearl as well as a verse translation on pages facing the text. . . . Vantuono succeeds admirably in his editorial purposes, for he has crafted a book suitable for students and scholars alike. Such an edition, then, both illuminates Pearl's rich vision world and complements Vantuono's . . . Sir Gawain and the Green Knight." —Studies in the Age of Chaucer"Pearl: An Edition With Verse Translation is a very helpful tool. It is most useful for its conservative Middle English text of Pearl and accompanying glossary, for its notes to the text, for Bibliography I, and . . . for its Introduction." —The Medieval Review
