Kane, George. "An Accident of History: Lord Berners's Translation of Froissart's Chronicles." 21 (1986): 217-25.
Though translation of Froissart's Chroniques came at a later date than scholars would expect, particularly in light of the growth of English prose at the end of the fifteenth century, Lord Berners's translation between 1523 and 1525 occurred at the right time. The quality of Berners's translation derives from the similarity of his historical context to that of Froissart when Froissart was writing. Thus, this translation is the first of such high quality to appear in English.
