Blandin de Cornoalha: A Comic Occitan Romance by Wendy Pfeffer
The volume makes available for the first time in English an edition of the medieval romance Blandin de Cornoalha, accompanied by a translation and introduction to the work. Composed in the second half of the fourteenth century by an anonymous author, the story offers the first recording of the Sleeping Beauty folktale, incorporated into the adventures of two knights. Many elements in the romance are comic, suggesting that Blandin is not simply a tale of knights in battle, but also a parody of medieval romance in general.
Wendy Pfeffer is professor emerita at the University of Louisville. Margaret Burrell is retired from the Univerity of Canterbury, N.Z.
