Inter-library loaned. Waiting impatiently for it. Thanks, Revenant.
It arrived yesterday and it's not the Penguin edition that Revenant mentioned. The translator is Helen Waddell and the publisher is Ann Arbor.

I like it so far, minus the unbearably dull introduction.

Helen Waddell should be pretty good. I enjoyed her fictionalisation of the story of Abelard and Heloise.
