The Fabliaux is a book of poems composed somewhere between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries. The exact authors of the poems are unknown, and it is widely thought that different authors contributed to the work. The Fabliaux is erotic in nature, and the ideas of it lie at the root of the Western world of comic tradition.
The stories and poems in this collection were passed down through generations in medieval France, mostly by people in the middle class. The poems and comics take simple housewives, husbands, and reverends to turn them into something shocking even in today's time. The collection contains 69 poems which have been translated to English from French.
The poems of this book that were released in the twelfth to fourteenth centuries were seen as disrespectful and were not ideas of what was common literature at the time. Considered immature, this erotic collection is beyond the beliefs of many.
