Reynard the Fox: Social Engagement and Cultural Metamorphoses in the Beast Epic from the Middle Ages to the Present.
We first hear of Reynard in the guise of Renart le goupil, in which the word for "fox," regularly descending from Vulgar Latin vulpecula, is the contemporary Middle French term for the species, and Renart is the Germanic personal-name Reginhard (modern Reinhard).
Reynard has arguably been the tool of satirists from his conception, and this satiric function is examined in the medieval Ysengrimus (Jill Mann) and, for the modern era, in "Paul Weber's Satirical Use of Reineke in Cartoon Form" (Kenneth Varty).

However, the hiding-place was far from where they lived, and one day when the fox got the urge to have a taste of the butter by himself, he felt the necessity of borrowing the wolf's boots for the long journey.
Brer Fox and Brer Possum rustled around, they did, getting out the vittles, and by and by Brer Fox, he said, "Brer Possum, you run down to the spring and fetch the butter, and I'll sail around you and set the table," he said.
Now Brer Fox, he's kind of a lawyer, and he argued this way: that Brer Possum was the first one at the butter, and the first one to miss it, and more than that, there were the signs on his mouth.

Although obviously guilty and unrepentant to the end, Reynard is nonetheless a charismatic antihero, and his escapades should prove diverting reading.

Notes: Leather reports that her version was written by a Richard Matthews "in the reign of George III." Matthews may well have been responsible for a particular version, but without more evidence, I hesitate to attribute the whole song to him.
Although this song has points of similarity to "Bold Reynard ('A Good Many Gentlemen')," Kennedy and others clearly state that they are different -- and indeed, they have few details in common except that they describe a foxhunt.
At some point, this was parodied into "Bold Reynard," a song which clearly has some sort of political subtext (though it's not clear what).

Owen's remarks on the English *Reynard the Fox* version from 1676 (p.xi) seem superfluous to me. It is highly improbable that the reception of French tales in the twelfth and thirteenth century is comparable to the reception of a related but different English text in the seventeenth century, as he suggests.

 Reynardine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although the name "Reynardine" is found in one 19th century version, the association with foxes, as well as Reynardine's supernatural characteristics, first arise in connection with a fragment of the ballad (a single stanza) that was collected in 1904 by Herbert Hughes.
This ability (which is not suggested in any extant version of "The Mountains High") may have derived from the word "Reynardine": renard is French for "fox".
Both Hughes and a friend named Joseph Campbell (not to be confused with the mythologist) wrote short poems incorporating this stanza and the fox interpretation, aspects of which Lloyd in turn adapted for his versions of "Reynardine" (see Winick 2004).
