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.
