This volume provides an overview of issues related to comedy in the Middle Ages. In particular, it explores unusual, unexpected or unacknowledged elements of humour in medieval literature and art.

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. 2005 Brill hardcover edition. Ex library copy with stamps and labels else good condition. From the cover: Here is presented for the first time an extraordinary medieval text, the first Old French Vie des Peres. The Vie des Peres is in fact a collective text comprising three branches and, at its fullest, over seventy individually enclosed pious tales / miracles. The first Vie - the first forty-one or -two tales - dates from the first third of the thirteenth century. It is a vitally significant but hitherto neglected part of the Old French canon. Indeed, in his preface to this volume Michel Zink, one of the most respected medievalists of his generation, notes that the qualities of the Vie des Pers 'devraient valoir a son auteur une place au voisinage de celle qu'occupent pour nous celui de la Chanson de Roland ou Chretien de Troyes.' The tales are remarkably well written and offer fascinating glimpses of thirteenth-century life and spirituality. They were also extremely popular in Medieval France. Sharing close links with a number of traditions - fabliaux, Saints' Lives, Miracles of the Virgin, Romance, Sermons - the Vie des Peres has value for those interested in many branches of vernacular literature, codicology, lexicography, art history, theology and philology. Tales of Vice and Virtue - the first sustained analysis of the entire first Vie des Peres to be published - is a groundbreaking book providing readers new to the text with detailed commentaries, offering abundant intertextual information for romance philologists, and suggesting many new areas for further research.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This collection considers the multiplicity and instability of medieval French literary identity, arguing that it is fluid and represented in numerous ways. The works analysed span genresepic, romance, lyric poetry, hagiography, fabliauxand historical periods from the twelfth century to the late Middle Ages. Contributors examine the complexity of the notion of self through a wide range of lenses, from marginal characters to gender to questions of voice and naming. Studying a variety of textsincluding Conte du Graal, Roman de la Rose, Huon de Bordeaux, and the Oxford Rolandthey conceptualize the Other Within as an individual who simultaneously exists within a group while remaining foreign to it. They explore the complex interactions between and among individuals and groups, and demonstrate how identity can be imposed and self-imposed not only by characters but by authors and audiences. Taken together, these essays highlight the fluidity and complexity of identity in medieval French texts, and underscore both the richness of the literature and its engagement with questions that are at once more and less modern than they initially appear. Considers the multiplicity and instability of medieval French literary identity, arguing that it is fluid and represented in numerous ways. The works analysed span genres - epic, romance, lyric poetry, hagiography, fabliaux - and historical periods from the twelfth century to the late Middle Ages.
