- Summary:
- Francois Villon (1431-1465) is one of the great enigmas of French medieval history: a lyric poet of surpassing beauty and depth, he was also a murderer, pimp, thief and denizen of the underworld of fifteenth-century Paris. The book describes the riotous and debauched student life in medieval Paris and Villon's first steps to a life of crime when he was publicly flogged for writing a scandalous ballad. Danse Macabre recreates medieval France through the life and work of its greatest poet.
