The editors say that Machaut's "Remede de Fortune" is "probably the most important French love poem of the fourteenth century."

This critical edition of the Old French text comes with an informative introduction that emphasizes Machaut's influence on Chaucer (the volume is part of the Chaucer Library from the University of Georgia Press). The English translation appears facing the edition of the original. Useful appendices include a modern transcription of the musical notation of each of the musical compositions included in the text and a complete set of black and white photos of each of the miniatures.
