Rezensionen

'Comic Provocations provides new readings of an ever-popular genre, combining scholarly rigor with provocatively enjoyable prose that at times rivals the fabliaux themselves. Accessible to fabliaux readers at all levels, these essays are particularly helpful for rethinking the genre in terms of the bodies they describe. A welcome addition to fabliaux studies.' Lynn Ramey, Associate Professor of French, Vanderbilt University
