This accessible introduction to medieval French literature
concentrates on how to enjoy reading this lively and influential
literary tradition. Rather than offering a conventional literary
history, Simon Gaunt suggests strategies for reading medieval
French texts, many of which retell traditional stories. He shows
that although many early texts allude to oral sources for these
stories, they belong to a sophisticated and witty written culture
that revels in knowledge of competing interpretations of the same
story and in the intellectual games that writing enables. Retelling
the Tale gives those coming to medieval French literature for the
first time a clear sense of how stimulating and enjoyable these
texts can be.
