<i>The </i>Narrative Grotesque<i></i>examines late medieval narratology in two Older Scots poems: Gavin Douglas''s <i>The Palyce of Honour </i>(c.1501) and William Dunbar''s <i>The Tretis of the Tua Mariit Wemen and the Wedo </i>(c.1507). The narrative grotesque is exemplified in these poems, which fracture narratological boundaries by fusing disparate poetic forms and creating hybrid subjectivities. Consequently, these poems interrogate conventional boundaries in poetic <i>making</i>. The narrative grotesque is applied as a framework to elucidate these chimeric texts and to understand newly late medieval engagement with poetics and narratology.
