About the book
Telling Tales explores a vast range of ideas concerning the interlocking relationships among written medieval texts, the oral tradition, and the influence of folklore, and examines folklore and culture within literary and historical contexts. The diverse essays in this collection highlight the mutual shadowing of literature and oral narrative and how they relate to other areas of cultural production and performance, including systems of learning, political ideologies, gender formation and conflicts, folk religion, ethnic tensions, and legal practices. Folklore from a variety of literary and folk traditions, including Arabic, Celtic, French, Jewish, Christian, Spanish, and Scandinavian, are analyzed using multiple theoretical approaches such as psychoanalysis, feminist theory, new historicism, and semiotics.
