The fabliaux are short, comic verse narratives that take place in (mostly) non-courtly settings, featuring peasants, clerks, merchants, students and townspeople in general. They are tales of trickery, deception, adultery, and seduction and provide a contrast to the courtly romances.
Trigger warning: This course features texts with explicit descriptions of violence, scatology, sexual and moral misbehaviour and whatever is mad, bad, and dangerous to know.
Texts will be made accessible via Moodle.
