I came across Medieval Literature in Translation edited by Charles W. Jones during my research for work. It is an excellent resource for those who want to add a bit of medieval to your reading. It contains excerpts from great works like The Song of Roland and other classics, as well as poems, hymns, songs and ballads, prayers, and letters.
