Synopsis

The rise and fall of Amadis de Gaule invites a case study of the time-bound nature of readers' reading. The contemporary status of translations justifies regarding Amadis as an independent entity. The paradigms governing it reappear in many familiar contemporary works; what we learn from Amadis applies broadly to sixteenth-century texts.
