Le Roman de Renart 2

Synopsis of Le Roman de Renart 2

«Le Roman de Renart 2» is the second volume of the anonymous medieval French satire, published by Flammarion in paperback.

This second volume brings together several tales from the medieval cycle: Renart, a fox who deceives for pleasure, disguises himself as a pilgrim, monk, doctor or magician to outwit wolves, cats, clerics and peasants. Hungry for eels, ham and sausages, he tricks Isengrin, Tibert and King Noble; the satire targets the clergy, the nobility and justice.

The text, in French, corresponds to the second volume of the anonymous cycle Le Roman de Renart, edited and translated by Jean Dufournet. It is part of Flammarion's GF collection and has 510 pages.

For readers of medieval French literature and classical satire who want to follow the adventures of the fox Renart.
