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.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 140mmItem Weight: 522gContributor: Kenneth Varty (Edited by)Author: Kenneth VartyGenre: Society & CultureBook Series: Polygons: Cultural Diversities and IntersectionsTopic: Language & ReferenceRelease Year: 2000 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
