Description
Traces the textual and iconographic history of the Reynard stories from twelfth-century Flanders to nineteenth-century England. The combination of text and picture was a particular success for Caxton, who translated the Dutch stories and printed them with illustrations by the Wynkyn de Worde Master. NPT is one of only two pre-Caxton English narrative poems that focus on Reynard; here, it is treated in the context of "The Fox and the Cock" and "The Fox-Preacher."
