Literary Hybrids: Indeterminacy in Medieval and Modern French Narrative (Studies in Medieval History and Culture) Book

Much like the fantastic marginalia of medieval illuminated manuscripts, medieval and modern hybrid characters-including werewolves, serpent women, and wild men-function as a frame, critiquing the discourses that run through their texts.
