Readers are invited to look to the past to see how, then as now, people turn to storytelling to integrate and adapt to rapid social change, to reinforce or restructure community, to sell new ideas, and to refashion the past. Like the change that it reflects, the telling of stories is itself a dynamic process, in which narratives are constantly renewed, revised and reformed. The stories of an era not only assume multiple, changing forms, but also surface in unexpected domains that seem, at first, incompatible with the storytelling enterprise: domains like medicine and diplomacy. Identifying the commonalities between the storytelling approach in diverse domains helps us better understand the conventions of a specific time and place (in this case, different decades in sixteenth-century France) while simultaneously revealing sites of resistance where these conventions were tested. This understanding heightens, in turn, our awareness of the stories shaping our own era"--Provided by publisher.Early modern exchange.French literature16th centuryHistory and criticismCongressesNarration (Rhetoric)History16th centuryCongressesStorytellingStorytellingFranceHistory16th centuryCongressesFrance, literary studies, art, music, social change, storytelling, sixteenth-century France, tapestries, stone, modern France, French Wars of Religion, poetry, traditional technique.French literatureHistory and criticismNarration (Rhetoric)HistoryStorytelling.StorytellingHistory840.9003Yandell Cathy173028Thompson Emily E.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814938003321Storytelling in Sixteenth-Century France4082332UNINA
