Book Description
First published in 1897, "The History of Reynard the Fox" is a collection of poems by Frederick Startridge Ellis. The poems concern Reynard, an anthropomorphic red fox and trickster who is traditionally the main character in a literary cycle of allegorical Dutch, English, French and German fables. Frederick Startridge Ellis (1830-1901) was an English bookseller and author. Contents include: "How the Lion, King Nobel, sent out his mandement that all beasts should come to his Court", "The first complaint, made by Isegrym the Wolf against Reynard", "The complaint of Courtoys the Hound", "How Grymbert the Dachs, Reynard's sister's son, spake up for him", "How Chanticlere complained on Reynard", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork by Walter Crane.

Book Description
There are many stories featuring the villainous hero Reynard the Fox in many languages told over many centuries, goingback as far as the early 12th century. All these stories are comic and much of the humour depends on parody and satire resulting in mockery, sometimes the subversion of certain kinds of serious literature, of political and religious institutions and practices, of scholarly argument and moralizing, and of popular beliefs and customs. The contributors to this volume, all of them experts in one or more of the Reynard stories and their backgrounds, focus on the transformation of these tales through various media and to what extent they reflect differences in the cultural, class, and generational background of their tellers.
