Title: Shaping Identity in Medieval French Literature
Description: This collection of essays argues that literary identity can be created and re-created, adopted, refused, imposed, and self-imposed, and that one may exist within a group while remaining foreign to it. Contributors examine this theme through a wide range of lenses--from marginal characters to gender to questions of voice and naming--in works that span genres and historical periods.
Subjects: French literature, history and criticism, to 1500, Identity (psychology) in literature, Literature and society, French literature, History and criticism, 18.25 French literature
