Classical mythology was a favorite subject of the 16th century rhetoricians. These "fables" were adapted into sensual games in which recognizable love issues were discussed. Nine of these so-called mythological-amorous plays have been handed down, written and performed since the end of the fifteenth century. The texts make clear how the handling of classical mythology changed in the period that forms the transition from the Middle Ages to modern times. This study examines the relationship to the original texts, the dramaturgy and performance of the plays and the tradition in manuscript and print. The mythology, pagan and fictional in nature, provided space to experiment with the depiction of eroticism and emotions, while dramaturgy provided a didactic framework that met the social and ethical needs of the time. The mythological-amorous games thus contributed to the introduction, distribution and acceptance of ancient mythology in the vernacular culture and to the development of an effective love didactic.

The mid thirteenth-century Dutch beast epic Van den vos Reynaerde is a fascinating reworking of the most popular branch of the Old French Roman de Renart and one of the finest examples of this popular genre, consisting of a lengthy cycle of animal tales which provided a satirical commentary on human society. Featuring the archetypal sly fox, the epic is also one of earliest examples of a longer literary work written in the Dutch vernacular. This charmingly illustrated edition contains the first-ever version of the Dutch text with a facing English translation, making the undisputed masterpiece of medieval Dutch literature accessible to international scholarly audiences otherwise unable to read the narrative in the original. The critical text and the parallel translation are accompanied by an introduction, interpretative notes, an index of names, a complete glossary, and a short introduction to Middle Dutch, making it an excellent choice for undergraduate or graduate study of medieval European literature. Het dertiende-eeuwse meesterwerk van de middeleeuwse Nederlandse letterkunde, Van den vos Reynaerde, wordt samen met een moderne parallelvertaling in dit boek uitgegeven.
