(3.63) | 3 | "Reynard the Fox employs a dark and outrageous sense of humor to puncture the hypocritical authority figures of the 'civilized' order, as the rhetorically brilliant fox outwits all comers by manipulating their bottomless greed. As James Simpson, one of the world's leading scholars of medieval literature, notes in his introduction, with translations in every major European language and twenty-three separate editions between 1481 and 1700 in England alone, the Reynard tales were ubiquitous.

Foreword (by Stephen Greenblatt): I would like to pretend to more learning than I possess by claiming that I had long known and admired William Caxton's 1481 translation from the Dutch of Reynard the Fox. Introduction: Niccolò Macchiavelli's scandalous book The Prince was written in 1513 and published in 1532. Chapter 1: The woods were fresh, the trees adorned with blossoms, and the ground covered with herbs and sweet-smelling flowers. | |
