The special period of fabliau composition appears to have been the 12th and 13th centuries. |
Three versions of the fabliau testify that Carados and his amie deposited the mantle in a Welsh abbey. |
It is given by John of Bromyard, and is the subject of a fabliau which is given by Meon. |
From one point of view, this condemnation of the fabliau is hardly too severe. |
The dramatic germ contained in the fabliau and quickened by the mystery produces the profane drama. |
But there is nothing in previous literature which exactly corresponds to the fabliau. |
