Title
Catering to different tastes: Western-European romance in the earliest decades of printing
Author
Abstract
This article assesses the circulation of chivalric romances in four Western-European languages (French, English, Dutch and German)in the earliest decades of printing as well as the way in which the texts and the editions preserving them were modified to cater to different vernacular audiences. As will become clear, patterns of their distribution in these vernaculars tend to be somewhat erratic and cannot solely be ascribed to the advent of printing. Moreover, the works themselves reveal differences in local appropriation across different linguistic areas and most profoundly in German territories.
