Multilingualism and mother tongue in medieval French, Occitan, and Catalan narratives

"Explores the ways in which vernacular works composed in Occitan, Catalan, and French between the twelfth and the fifteenth centuries narrate multilingualism and its apparent opponent, the mother tongue. These encounters are narrated through literary motifs of love, incest, disguise, and travel"--Provided by publisher.
