15th-c. adaptations of Chretien de Troyes, the use of motifs, and
standard features including current state of research and book
review section. Setting the tone for volume 24 is a trio of
articles on 15th-century French adaptations of Chretien de Troyes's
Arthurian romances. Norris Lacy examines adaptation and reception
in Cliges,Jane Taylor writes on the importance of cultural details
to reception studies of both Erec and Cliges, and Maria Timelli on
structural aspects of Erec. Other studies of romance include
MaryLynn Saul's article on courtly love and patriarchal marriage
institutions in Malory, and Anne Caillaud's piece on gender
conventions of courtly love as a vehicle for misogyny in Antoine de
la Sale's Petit Jehan de Saintre. Hans-Joachim Behr deals with an
adaptation of the 12th-century historical figure of Heinrich von
der Loewe in his article on the poetic workof Michel Wyssenherre.
Roxana Recio's article on Spanish "amplifications and glosses"
draws connections between translation, reception, and
interpretation.Moving from romance to legend, Peter De Wilde, in
his article on the legendary matter of St. Patrick's journeys to
Purgatory, relates a 15th-century account of one Englishman's
"visionary pilgrimage" to that destination.A second area of
concentration in the volume is the thematic and structural use of
motifs. Rainer Goetz discusses archery in Spanish poetry of love

temps inFrench poetry. James Wilkins focuses on the "body as
currency" in French passion plays. Kristine Patz moves into art

Renaissance humanism are articles by Grady Smith on the short
literary career and Latin dramas of Titus Livius Frulovisi, and by
Christiane Raynaudon humanism and good government in the Latin
Romuleon. Franco Mormando investigates a darker moment: the 1426
