The first in-depth study of a little-known area of French literary history focuses on a group of 15 romances produced in the century from 1390, many commissioned at the court of Burgundy. It examines how these works represented men in their roles as warriors, lovers, husbands, and fathers, and women as daughters, maidens, wives, and mothers.
