Such studies have been published by experts in tho;e p:nticular fields and can be consulted by those for who" they ore of special interest. The present study is an attempt to fe-assess the poem in its twel fth­ century context sa that the reader may be able to visu:l1 ise the story as the author conceived it and as it wO'Jld have been received by its contemporary audience, but it must not be considered as a comprehensive commentary on the poem.

Beroul's romance belongs to the second half of the twel fth century when literacy was rare o'Jtside clerical circles and story-telling for secular entertainment was largely in the hands of minstrels. The te rm 'minstrel' has been loosely used to cover a wide range of persons.
