The twelfth-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes is a major figure in European literature. His courtly romances fathered the Arthurian tradition and influenced countless other poets in England as well as on the continent. Yet because of the difficulty of capturing his swift-moving style in translation, English-speaking audiences are largely unfamiliar with the pleasures of reading his poems. Now, for the first time, an experienced translator of medieval verse who is himself a poet provides a translation of Chrétien’s major poem, Yvain, in verse that fully and satisfyingly captures the movement, the sense, and the spirit of the Old French original. Yvain is a courtly romance with a moral tenor; it is ironic and sometimes bawdy; the poetry is crisp and vivid. In addition, the psychological and the socio-historical perceptions of the poem are of profound literary and historical importance, for it evokes the emotions and the values of a flourishing, vibrant medieval past.

Archeological surveys of portions of proposed Public Service Company of Oklahoma 345-kV electrical transmission line corridor from Oklaunion, Texas, to Lawton, Oklahoma, were performed by archeologists from The Bentham Group, Oklahoma City. The areas surveyed comprised about 67 percent (45 miles) of the total length of the transmission corridor. Two short segements could not be surveyed because the landowners denied access. Two prehistoric archeological sites were found in Oklahoma. Both were light lithic scatters without depth or shaped or diagnostic artifacts. Additionally, two twentieth-century farmhouse sites were found, one in Oklahoma and one in Texas. A modern household dump exhibiting very recent refuse was also found in Oklahoma. Construction of electrical transmission lines within the portions of the corridor that were surveyed should have no impact on cultural resource sites that are potential sources of significant data. No further cultural resources work is recommended for the areas that were surveyed. It is recommended that archeological surveys be performed on the two areas where access was refused after access is obtained.
