Storytelling in Sixteenth-Century France is an innovative,
interdisciplinary examination of parallels between the early modern
era and the world in which we live today. Readers are invited to
look to the past to see how then, as now, people turned to
storytelling to integrate and adapt to rapid social change, to
reinforce or restructure community, to sell new ideas, and to
refashion the past. This collection explores different modalities
of storytelling in sixteenth-century France and emphasizes shared
techniques and themes rather than attempting to define narrow kinds
of narrative categories. Through studies of storytelling in
tapestries, stone, and music as well as distinct genres of
historical, professional, and literary writing (addressing both
erudite and more common readers), the contributors to this
collection evoke a society in transition, wherein traditional
techniques and materials were manipulated to express new
realities. Published by the University of Delaware Press.
Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.Â
