Book Synopsis Transforming Tales by : Miranda Griffin
Book excerpt: 'Transforming Tales' examines the idea of bodily transformation in French literature composed between the 12th and the 15th centuries, exploring the ways in which stories of transformation enable an insight into medieval ideas about humanity and arguing that metamorphosis can be read as a metaphor for rewriting in the Middle Ages.
