The Bodleian Libraries Podcast: „Reynard the Fox“

„In this Bod­Cast from the Friends of the Bodleian, Pro­fes­sor Dame Mari­na Warn­er inter­views Anne Louise Avery, writer and art his­to­ri­an, on the sub­ject of Avery’s recent book, Rey­nard the Fox.
Based on William Caxton’s best­selling 1481 Eng­lish trans­la­tion of the Mid­dle Dutch, but expand­ed with new inter­pre­ta­tions, inno­v­a­tive lan­guage and char­ac­ter­i­sa­tion, this edi­tion is an imag­i­na­tive retelling of the Rey­nard sto­ry. With its themes of protest, resis­tance and duplic­i­ty front­ed by a per­son­able, anti-hero­ic Fox mak­ing his way in a dan­ger­ous and cru­el world, this grip­ping tale is as rel­e­vant and con­tro­ver­sial today as it was in the fif­teenth cen­tu­ry.“
