WHAT DO STORIES ABOUT ANIMALS HAVE TO TELL US ABOUT HUMAN BEINGS?
This book analyzes the shrewd perceptions about human life
—
and especially
human language
—
that emerge from narratives in which the main figures are talking
animals . Its guiding question is not what but how animals mean. Using this question
to draw a clear distinction between beast fable and beast epic, it goes on to examine
the complex variations or these forms that are to be found in the literature of medieval
Britain, in English, French, Latin, and Scots. The range, variety, and brilliant inventive¬
ness of this tradition are demonstrated in chapters on the fables of
Marie de
France,
the Speculum Stultorum of Nigel of Longchamp (the comic adventures of a donkey),
the debate poem The Owl and the Nightingale, Chaucer s Parliament of Fowls and the tales
of the Squire, Manciple and Nun s Priest, the Reynardian tale of The Fox and the Wolf,
and the Moral Fabillis of Robert
Henryson.
English translations provided for all
quotations make all these works accessible to the modern reader.
