Written anonymously around 1460 for the Burgundian court of Philippe le Bon, the Cent nouvelles nouvelles fits loosely within the traditions of Boccaccio and Chaucer, but also reflects in subtle ways the tastes, preoccupations, and fascinations of the fifteenth-century audience for whom it was intended. Seven of the most interesting and problematic nouvelles have been selected for this study.
