Reviews
Medieval Narrative: An Introduction is an excellent resource for students or non-specialists who have taken a course on medieval literature (particularly on Chaucer) and would like some guidance for further reading or a better sense of medieval ideas about narrative., "Davenport's bold attempt to summarize the enormous subject of 'medieval narrative,' even with all of his qualifications, deserves well earned praise and no small amount of sympathy.... A most welcome, clarifying, and helpful book for those working through medieval narratives seriously for the first time, and it will be a welcome guest at the office of any teacher attempting to do for his or her students what Davenport has accomplished."--Christianity and Literature

Synopsis
An introduction to the variety of medieval narrative, intended both for students and more general readers who already know some of the classics of the Middle Ages, such as Beowulf, the Decameron and The Canterbury Tales,, and who wish to venture further. Medieval definitions and theories of narrative are considered in relation to modern narratology and the major medieval types of narrative are discussed. The perspective in this book is mainly English, with Chaucer as a central figure, but it refers to a range of well-known European texts and writers, such as Marie de France, Cretien de Troyes, the Niebelungenlied, the Poem of the Cid, Dante and Boccaccio., Medieval Narrative offers students an introduction to the range of narrative genres and strategies of the medieval period and explores the ways in which medieval theories of narrative can be compared with modern day theories. Throughout the text the author draws from a wide range of examples, including Chaucer's Canterbury Tales , the Ancrene Wisse , and continental examples of medieval narrative such as Boccaccio's Il Filostrato ., An introduction to medieval and modern ideas of narrative and the main types of medieval story-telling, including fable, chronicle, epic, romance, and dream. Medieval Narrative: An Introduction indicates some of the interesting complexities of a literature too often regarded as simple or alien, but which, in mediating between fact and fiction and between tradition and parody, has enough uncertainties to satisfy any post-modernist reader.
