| | FABLIAU - LoveToKnow Article on FABLIAU |
 | | The entertaining tales in eight-syllable rhymed verse which form a marked section of French medieval literature are called fabliaux, the word being derived by Littr from fablel, a diminutive of fable. | | | An instructed French critic, vexed with their faults, has gone so far as to say that the subjects of these tales are degrading, their inspiration nothing better than flat and cruel derision, their distinguishing features rascality, vulgarity and platitude of style. | | | Among these the story of a sort of Sisyphus errant, Le Chevalier de Barizel, offers an ethical interest which lifts it in certain respects above all other surviving fabliaux. |

| | Literature Film Quarterly: Chaucerian Fabliaux, Cinematic Fabliau: Pier Paolo Pasolini's I racconti di Canterbury |
| | By concentrating on the fabliau in his re-creation of the Canterbury Tales, Pasolini privileges a genre predicated upon antagonism and transgression. | | | The fabliau, which flourished in thirteenth-century France and which Chaucer used as the basis for many of his tales, candidly and hilariously depicts a world of erotic obscenity, scatological excess, earthy pleasure, and sexual betrayal. | | | Fabliau exists in a sort of adversarial relationship to romance, borrowing some of its trappings to make the kinship clearer: the same versification, the love-triangle, a judicious sprinkling of love vocabulary and conventional description, an occasional very specific parody of authorial boasts in prologues and concluding lines. |

| | While 'The Reeve's Tale' is essentially a fabliau, there are parodic elements of the courtly tradition to be found in it. | | | The most common manifestation of this tradition was the fabliau - a short, humorous verse tale. | | | What we find, then, in 'The Reeve's Tale' is a classic example of the fabliau, a literary form with its origins in French bourgeois literature. |

| | Fabliau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Longer medieval poems such as Le Roman de Renart and those found in The Canterbury Tales have their origin in one or several fabliaux. | | | Poems that were presumably written for the nobility portray peasants (vilains in French) as stupid and vile, whereas those written for the lower classes often tell of peasants getting the better of the clergy. | | | It was replaced by the prose short story. |

| | Chaucer: Class Mini Reports, December |
| | Bédier simply defines the Fabliau as, "les fabliaux sont des contes à rire en vers," which translates as "fabliaux are funny tales in verse." Bédier’s definition has been subject to violent scrutiny, particularly of late, with a great deal of literature surfacing in the past decade or so that attempts to deal with the fabliau. | | | In "The Miller’s Tale", he develops many of the common elements of the fabliau in a story that incorporates many of the situations and characters that can be found in its French precedents. | | | Of course, in reading the Grimm’s fairy tales or Aesop& Fables many to-day would consider them to be too violent or horrific for children and that perhaps even the tradition of the fable has its roots in being for the adult audience. |

| | Vaszily’s final point before reaching the main theme of his paper is that Chaucer uses fabliau elements as a socially subversive force in his work: “We will see that the idealizing language of courtly romance in the Knight’s Tale is indeed momentarily desublimated in one of two fabliau ‘interludes’ in the tale&; (530). | | | If Chaucer employs fabliau elements in romantic or more dramatic plots in one instance, he may well use it in several other tales, especially if it is more a reflection of his own predilections than those of his ostensive narrators. | | | In light of this assertion, he names the “fabliau interludes” in the Knight’s Tale as Arcite and Palamon’s absurd argument over who has the most right to love Emelye after their first sighting of her, and Saturn’s misinterpretation of Arcite’s prayer to Mars. |

| | Whether or not the fabliau is taken as a bourgeois genre, it is true that the characters most often belong to the middle class or to peasant society. | | | Most of this text is indistinguishable from a lai or an episode from a courtly romance, but it presents an ingeniously humorous conclusion, turning on the pun involving faucon ('falcon' and faux con 'false cunt') and on the result of her pretext: he orders her to give the young man what he wants. | | | A second and more persistent controversy concerns the definition of the genre and the precise constitution of the fabliau canon, questions that have never been satisfactorily resolved. |

| | Antithetical to the conventional knight of the romance, fabliau knights are typically destitute and drunk; poor lovers and worse fighters. | | | Fabliau clerks neglect their clerical duties and devote their energies to such self-indulgent endeavors as lovemaking and eating. | | | As an intentional narrative device, fabliau also overturn the pristine, conventional language of the romance to expose the liminal standing of fabliau characters. |

| | "A fabliau is a brief comic tale in verse, usually scurrilous and often scatological or obscene. | | | This is not surprising, since the authors of the fabliaux were sometimes courtly writers, such as Jean Bodel, author of number of romances as well as of the fabliau Gombert and the Two Clerks, and Marie de France, whose fables contain two fabliaux illustrating the trickery of women. | | | Perhaps this is because the early literature of courtly love shared much of the irreverence and scorn for conventional morality that characterizes the fabliaux. |
