In this study of vernacular French narrative from the twelfth century through the later Middle Ages, first published in 2000, Maddox considers the construction of identity in a range of fictions. He focuses on crucial encounters, widespread in medieval literature, in which characters are informed about fundamental aspects of their own circumstances and selfhood.
