Description

Explore the role of wit and humor during the Renaissance with this Variorum Collected Studies volume from Routledge. This collection features eight articles focused on the world-famous author Francois Rabelais, alongside studies of lesser-known figures such as Cortesi, Corrozet, and Mercier. Beyond specific authors, the text examines genres like the joke and the apophthegm. It investigates how humor was defined and utilized by a wide range of social figures, from orators and humanists to court jesters, princes, peasants, and housewives. While often overlooked by historians, humor was a significant element for major writers including Luther, Erasmus, Thomas More, and Francois Rabelais. The book is organized into four distinct sections, beginning with 'Humanist Wit' to provide a structured look at how wit shaped the era.
