The fabliau is one of the most entertaining genres in medieval literature. These comic and often extremely bawdy tales provide an essential context for Chaucer but they also form an important body of writing in their own right, illuminating contemporary attitudes to gender and sexuality. John Hine's book is the first major study of the genre written specially for the student. It provides an essential context for understanding The Canterbury Tales, discussing five of the Tales in detail.
