Abstract
-
en_US
This study tracks fable from its origin to its decline, assesses the dominant traits of fable, and notes the accomplishments of the great fabulists. Might it be meant as an overview for advanced late high-school students? Its structure and content are standard, I believe, for such a book. Its coverage of the field is even more detailed than I would have expected. My biggest question from looking over the book has to do with its supposition that fable is a genre in decline. A first chapter looks at sources: India, Aesop, and the Latin fabulists. The second chapter covers from Marie de France through La Fontaine. A third chapter follows naturally: imitators and innovators. The next two chapters deal, respectively, with transformations of fable and the decline of fable. A sixth chapter deals with fables outside France. The book closes with a bibliography and an index. It is nice to find something from Belgium.
