Maître Wace occupe un rang trop éminent parmi les fondateurs de notre poésie nationale pour que la moindre pièce inédite sortie de sa plume ne soit pas recueillie avec le plus grand empressement. Dans l’Introduction du drame d’Adam, publié en 1854, nous avons analysé et attribué à Wace une Vie de saint George, en vers de huit syllabes, dont nous annoncions la prochaine publication. C’est cette composition que nous imprimons ici pour la première fois.

Wace is not to be regarded as one of the great contributors to our knowledge of Arthurian legend, but without a familiarity with his work, later French romance can scarcely be appreciated, so important is his place as a delicate transformer of the story, the harsher elements of which he veiled with the courtliness familiar to him, while he diffused throughout it the indefinable spirit of French romance; and this he did with the naive simplicity and grace that were his by birth and temperam...
