Descripción
Sumario:Seventy-nine representative tales of the Middle Ages and early Renaissance, together with useful and well-informed introductions to genres and traditions. Part I surveys the Spanish tradition. Part II offers a representative selection of sixteen French fabliaux. Part III presents English stories that set the stage for Elizabethan comedy. Speed edits these tales with all the rough edges, ribald humor, and unapologetic earthiness of their time and place. Here the reader will discover stories that recall Aesop, Boccaccio, Chaucer, Shakespeare and Molière, as vixen and wolf, monk and priest, merch.
