Abstract

Moreover, claims that these tales of heroism, virtue, or miracles cross boundaries or maintain cultural continuities are not based on an analysis of reception. A good deal of historical evidence is available that shows us how medieval audiences heard and medieval readers read, but it is not brought into play here. It is thus difficult for us to tell how Kleinberg thinks reading or hearing about St. George and the dragon in the thirteenth century is unlike — as well as like — reading and hearing about Harry Potter in the twentieth. Dissimilarity, however — both dissimilarity across time and dissimilarity within cultural communities — is crucial to understanding the construction and reception of narratives. When Kleinberg writes about the lives of Francis of Assisi and Brother Ginepro (Juniper), the holy fool, he is attentive to their differences from each other and hence to their different appeals, but too often by the end of his book all stories are reduced, by a rather general, functional analysis, to the same
