The Book

So back in the day (1994), I edited and co-published (with Marcus Sedgwick) Outremer, an anthology of prose, verse and drama on the Rudel legend by the likes of Robert Browning, Heinrich Heine, PG Wodehouse, AE Swinburne and Edmond Rostand. I still have some copies left at £8.99 each; email me at nickrid@gmail.com.

To begin with...

I stumbled across the legend of Jaufré Rudel nearly two decades ago (long story - another time) and, despite having moved on from the obsessive phase of Rudel-chasing, I still keep my eyes peeled for glimpses of my spurious ancestor in story, song and full-scale opera.

Who knows - this blog may take off and become a much-frequented niche, or it might only be maintained and visited occasionally. So be it.

If you want, get up to speed on Rudel with the wikipedia entry.
