Violence in Fifteenth-century Text and Image
Special issue focusing on violence in fifteenth-century life, text, and image: warfare and justice, violence in family and milieu (court, town, village, and forest), hagiography, ethnicity and xenophobia, gender relations and sexual violence, brutality on the stage, and the relation of text and image in the depiction of violence.
The Cambridge Reinaert Fragments
First published in 1927, this book contains photographic reproductions of the fifteenth-century Flemish Reinaert Fragments, alongside transcriptions of the text and woodcut illustrations. The introduction sketches the development of the Reynard the Fox story from its origins in the medieval beast epic, examining the relationships between the various texts.
Reynard the Fox
There are many stories featuring the villainous hero Reynard the Fox in many languages told over many centuries, goingback as far as the early 12th century. All these stories are comic and much of the humour depends on parody and satire resulting in mockery, sometimes the subversion of certain kinds of serious literature, of political and religious institutions and practices, of scholarly argument and moralizing, and of popular beliefs and customs. The contributors to this volume, all of them experts in one or more of the Reynard stories and their backgrounds, focus on the transformation of these tales through various media and to what extent they reflect differences in the cultural, class, and generational background of their tellers.
