Publisher's Synopsis
This series aims to promote comparative research in the fields of mediaeval comic, satirical, didactic and allegorical literature, with emphasis on beast epic, fable and fabliau, including sources, influences and later developments into the modern period. The methods and critical interpretations it offers are wide-ranging, as is its subject matter, since it considers discussion and the coexistence of conflicting views as more important than the defence of a specific methodological point of view.
