Erika
E. Hess.
Literary Hybrids: Indeterminacy in Medieval and Modern
French
Narrative.
London: Routledge, Oct 2003.
224 pages.
Hardback ISBN
0415967066.
Publisher's
recommended price £50.00
Much like
the fantastic
marginalia of medieval illuminated manuscripts, medieval and modern
hybrid
characters - including werewolves, serpent women and wild men -
function
as a frame, critiquing the discourse that run through their texts. In Literary
Hybrids, Erika Hess provides a close reading of one such hybrid -
the
female cross-dresser in thirteenth century French romance - examining
the
interplay between physical and narrative ambiguity. Hess argues that
the
hybrid figure in medieval and contemporary French literature challenges
the traditionally accepted natural order, upsets rational thinking and
underscores a concern with totalising discourses or perspectives.
