COMIC LITERATURE IN FRANCE
From the Middle Ages to the Twentieth Century By Lloyd Bishop (Virginia Tech University, USA)
|
|
This book offers a valuable chapter
in the history of laughter, a deep survey of comic French literature focusing on genres,
styles and themes. Lloyd Bishop’s
brilliant new work indeed shows the impressive richness of comic French literature as well
as the many interesting varieties of the comic experience.
Addressed to the general reader, it will also serve as a useful reference
work for graduate students and advanced undergraduates.
