- W4210771837 abstract "240 Reviews salutations toMary given at the end of the Miracles de Notre Dame of Gautier de Coinci. Again there is a close textual analysis of thematerial in itsvarious manu scripts. Luca Barbieri's study ofOvid's Heroides inNorthern French is concerned less with the fifteenth-century translation than with the importance of the Latin text inOld French courtly literature before itwas translated, with particular focus on thirteenOvidian letters inserted into themise en prose of the Roman de Troie. Again considerable attention is paid to themanuscript context. The same texts, being important examples of letterswithin a text,figure inDominique Demartini's contribution on the prose Tristan. Demartini demonstrates the relative autonomy of the letter in the prose Tristan, where it also remains a substitute for the bo dily presence of thewriter, and analyses the letters according to formal rhetorical structures. Sabina Marinetti begins her contribution (written in Italian) by asking whether Raimbaut d'Aurenga or Arnaut de Maroill wrote the first salut d'amour provencale and traces a thematic and formal continuum from Latin letters to the salut, concluding thatArnaut de Maroill should be given the credit of originating thisparticular poetic form,his Dona genser following the rule of the ars dictaminis. The final chapter, which also draws upon the ars dictaminis, looks forward to the Renaissance in the analysis by Estelle Doudet of the epistolary art of the grands rhetoriqueurs and the insights accorded by a study of their vernacular letters. The whole collection is remarkably coherent, with successive contributions sometimes including different approaches to the same texts and a concern throughout with issues of reception. Apart from thewell-known correspondence between Abelard and Heloise, letters in theMiddle Ages have tended to receivemore attention from historians than from othermedievalists. This volume is awelcome encouragement to study of the genre. University of Bristol Marianne Ailes Queer (Re)Readings in theFrench Renaissance: Homosexuality, Gender, Culture. By Gary Ferguson. Aldershot: Ashgate. 2008. ix+375 pp. ?55. ISBN 978-0 7546-6377-5. This welcome contribution to studies of the French Renaissance proposes a series of readings of literary texts that either deal directly with homosexuality or allude to it in such a way as to offer a queer' perspective on such widespread topics as gender, friendship, and religious practice. The introduction sets out the theoretical underpinning of thebook very clearly. In particular, the idea, ascribed to Foucault, that (homo)sexuality was invented in the nineteenth century is rightly set aside in favour of the view that forms of sexuality pre-existed its supposedly scien tificdefinition. These forms are subject to change, which entails that the notion of queer, that is to say thatwhich runs counter to heterosexual norms, is itself relative. The difficulty of defining heterosexual norms in the Renaissance poses a difficulty for the definition of queer. For example, if the norms are taken to be the official ones found in theological and medical writing, almost any sexual practice MLR, 105.1, 2010 241 beyond procreative intercourse in themissionary position within marriage be comes queer. However, given the obvious, unofficial tolerance of practices outside of these official norms, the notion of queer can stillpertain. Furthermore, the idea of queer (re)readings involves taking as the point of departure passages that appear sexually ambiguous or disturbing tomodern readers. Given that such passages are often ignored or repressed in criticism, the practice of queer rereading promises to challenge present-day norms. This approach has the advantage of wearing its ideological heart on its sleeve while not excluding such traditional, and non-queer, methodological practices as close reading and careful identification of sources. Chapter 1 combines thesemethods to study the afterlifeof a story fromApuleius inMorlini, Boccaccio, and French versions of the latter, including Brantome. A particularly interesting case here is that of a story byMatteo Bandello, an Italian living inmid-sixteenth-century France, who was the principal source of Boais tuau's and Belleforest's first 'histoires tragiques'. A character in one of the stories not translated into French confesses that his taking pleasure with boys ismore natural to him than eating and drinking (p. 84)?a clear example of pre-history' of the notion of sexuality as an innate characteristic.
