Medieval Literature in France

Its over 130 links, leading to scores of different stories, include short narrative forms (fabliaux, fables, lays, contes, courtly tales, etc.). Some are satirical works with component episodic "branches", some are prose, while one, labeled "chante-fable", is intermittent prose and verse. Some lend themselves well to musical theater performance. Major categories are determined by numbers of links.
