Description

Explore the complex role of laughter and wit in the Renaissance with this scholarly collection from Routledge. This volume brings together a series of studies that examine how humour was defined and used across different levels of society. From the sophisticated rhetoric of humanists and orators to the everyday lives of court jesters, peasants, and housewives, this book explores a subject often overlooked by historians. A significant portion of the text focuses on the world-famous author Francois Rabelais, while other chapters investigate lesser-known figures such as Cortesi, Corrozet, and Mercier. The research also looks at specific literary genres, including the joke and the apophthegm. By analyzing the work of major figures like Luther, Erasmus, and Thomas More, this collection provides a deep look into how humour functioned as a tool for writers and thinkers during this transformative era. The book is organized into four distinct sections, starting with 'Humanist Wit', making it an essential resource for students and historians of European history.
