Book Synopsis
Seeks to understand why French literature of the period celebrated the very characters who were so persecuted in society at large. This book explores the relation between orthodoxy and deviance, authority and innovation, and will fascinate historians of ideas and literature as well as scholars of religion, critical theory, and philosophy.

Trade Review
"This book should be widely recommended not only to scholars of heresy, but in many areas of medieval studies. One of its best qualities is that it makes use of vernacular literature in a way that historians should find both methodologically persuasive and socially and culturally illuminating. This is not only a work of high quality and readability, but one for whose particular place on the shelf there is no rival I know of." - R. I. Moore, University of Newcastle upon Tyne"
