This book is about the "Wandering Scholars", priests, monks and scholars who would leave the churches and monasteries and universities where they were supposed to devote themselves to the greater glory of God and take to the roads and the taverns, tasting and celebrating the pleasures of the senses. They wrote in Latin and studied, and imitated the pagan poetry of ancient Rome, but they had a fresh and wonderful lyric style of their own. Helen Waddell here describes their life and their poetry, and supplies a full selection in the original and in translation, of the heritage of Latin song they left behind.
