Download or read book Rabelais's Radical Farce written by E. Bruce Hayes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first extended investigation of the importance of dramatic farce in Rabelais studies, Bruce Hayes makes an important contribution to the understanding of the theater of farce and its literary possibilities. By tracing the development of farce in late medieval and Renaissance comedic theater in comparison to the evolution of farce in Rabelais's work, Hayes distinguishes Rabelais's use of the device from traditional farce. While traditional farce is primarily conservative in its aims, with an emphasis on maintaining the status quo, Rabelais puts farce to radical new uses, making it subversive in his own work. Bruce Hayes examines the use of farce in Pantagruel, Gargantua, and the Tiers and Quart livres, showing how Rabelais recast farce in a humanist context, making it a vehicle for attacking the status quo and posing alternatives to contemporary legal, educational, and theological systems. Rabelais's Radical Farce illustrates the rich possibilities of a genre often considered simplistic and unsophisticated, disclosing how Rabelais in fact introduced both a radical reformulation of farce, and a new form of humanist satire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study of seven exemplary comic writers from the Renaissance to the modern period, Professor Werner undertakes close readings of texts from each author while analyzing the larger vision of comedy that defines any one narrative oeuvre. From les Caracteres to A la recherche du temps perdu, from L'Education sentimentale to Mort a Credit, Stephen Werner argues for a revised view of comic fiction. Often underestimated by critics, this mode lies at the very heart of l'imaginaire francais by virtue of its creative force and its openness to modernity.

Download or read book The Design of Rabelais’s "Quart Livre de Pantagruel" written by Edwin M. Duval and published by Librairie Droz. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the third and final volume of a series of books devoted to design of Rabelais's Pantagrueline epics. It completes the project begun in The Design of Rabelais's Pantagruel and continued in The Design of Rabelais's Tiers Livre de Pantagruel. Its subject is Rabelais's complete work, the last of the three epics of wich Pantagruel is the hero. As in the two preceding books, the purpose here has been to discover the coherence of both form and meaning in a work usually assumed to be fragmentary, disjoined, ambiguous and perhaps even ininterpretable: New discoveries, from the author, have been incorporated into the original manuscipt and several passages have been revised to assure a greater continuity between this volume and its now-completed companions. In all other respects, this book remains faithful to its original conception and form.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arguing that satiric potential is latent in virtually all dispensation, succession, and inheritance narratives, Michael Seidel suggests a new and comprehensive understanding of satire's place in the more general context of narrative theory. The notion of inheritance shares with traditional narrative action the need to transmit and preserve form. Originally published in 1979.

These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.

Download or read book From Communion to Cannibalism written by Maggie Kilgour and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on such metaphors as communion and cannibalism in a wide range of Western literary works, Maggie Kilgour examines the opposition between outside and inside and the strategies of incorporation by which it is transcended. This opposition is basic to literature in that it underlies other polarities such as those between form and content, the literal and metaphorical, source and model. Kilgour demonstrates the usefulness of incorporation as a subsuming metaphor that describes the construction and then the dissolution of opposites or separate identities in a text: the distinction between outside and inside, essentially that of eater and eaten, is both absolute and unreciprocal and yet fades in the process of ingestion--as suggested in the saying "you are what you eat.". Kilgour explores here a fable of identity central to Western thought that represents duality as the result of a fall from a primal symbiotic unity to which men have longed to return. However, while incorporation can be desired as the end of alienation, it can also be feared as a form of regression through which individual identity is lost. Beginning with the works of Homer, Ovid, Augustine, and Dante, Kilgour traces the ambivalent attitude toward incorporation throughout Western literature. She examines the Eucharist as a model for internalization in Renaissance texts, addresses the incorporation of past material in the nineteenth century, and concludes with a discussion of the role of incorporation in cultural theory today.
