THE FABLIAUX: A New Verse Translation
Composed between the 12th and 14th centuries, these 69 virtually unknown erotic and satiric poems lie at the root of the Western comic tradition. Passed down by the anticlerical middle classes of medieval France, they depict randy wives and cuckolded husbands in tales that are shocking even today. Bound with gold foil stamping and a silk ribbon bookmark.
