Excellent. . . . Offers both a valuable introduction to the romance for general readers while at the same time serving substantial fare to a specialized public.'Matilda T. Bruckner, Boston College'Groundbreaking discussions of a recently discovered, extraordinary 13thcentury literary figure. . . . Splendid essays from highly respected scholars. 'Harriet Spiegel, California State University, Chico'The authors of The Finding of the Grail have adopted the medieval practice of retelling an old story selectively to renew it for contemporaries. Joseph Bdier did no differently with the Tristan legend. The modern reader will find this elegant little volume equally appealing.'Jeanette Beer, Purdue UniversityIn this first volume of critical essays ever devoted to Jean Renarts work, contributors draw on political and social history, womens studies, translation theory, musicology, and literary theory to illuminate Jeans remarkable contribution to the highly complex genre of courtly romance.An extraordinary blend of realism and high artifice, unique in its combined use of songs and narrative, Jean Renart and the Art of Romance offers zestful dalliances in high places, handsome but selfserving knights, and a beautiful woman whose decisive intelligence allows her to triumph over daunting odds. An important contribution to our understanding of 13thcentury romance, this volume of essays will prove of interest to scholars of medieval French literature, history, musicology, and codicology.CONTENTSIntroduction, by Nancy Vine DurlingText and Context1.
