Book Synopsis
This work explores the appropriation and transformation of classical mythology by French culture from the mid-12th century to about 1430. Each of the five chapters focuses on a specific moment in this process and asks questions including what were the purposes of transforming classical myth?

Trade Review
"This innovative book . . . combines detailed readings of a wide textual corpus with a sophisticated awareness of the theoretical and methodological issues, and the scholarship is characterized at once by analytic rigor and interpretive flair." -- Kevin Brownlee * University of Pennsylvania *
"Comprehensively documented, clearly written, and logically...structured, Reading Myth is obviously the work of a gifted teacher and passionate reader of medieval French myth and literature whose articles have already added much to our understanding of these and related topics." * Speculum *
