Book excerpt: The only available English translation of The Romance of Reynard the Fox, this age-old tale is an oblique critique of medieval society and its institutions. The animals, endowed with human vices and fewer virtues, play out a thinly disguised social comedy in which all the orders from nobility to peasantry are lampooned. Full of shrewd observation of rural life and animal behavior, this new translation offers an enlightening introduction and clear notes that involve the reader in the social, historical, and literary context of the work.
Download or read book Reynard the Fox written by Kenneth Varty and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book describes an extraordinary and exciting fox-hunt - a search for medieval carvings and drawings of the fox in churches, museums, and libraries throughout England. Dr. Varty's main purpose is to show that, despite the paucity of literary evidence, Reynard the Fox was indeed well-known in medieval England. The author and his helpers, forming, as he says, 'an unusual pack of hounds,' managed to flush from cover an impressively large number of foxes in widely scattered parts of the country - foxes in wood or stone carvings, in stained and painted glass, and in murals and miniatures. So closely and clearly related are these foxes to those in contemporary continental literature that they abundantly sustain Dr. Varty's thesis." -- Book jacket.
