This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

P. G. Wodehouse summed it up when he entitled his autobiography Per- forming Flea. But ironically "Laughter Studies" have been big aca- demic business for millennia, ever since Cicero remarked on the plethora of Greek treatises On the Humorous, which were distin- guished only by their humorlessness. -- The paradoxical fate of the comic writer is well illustrated by the case of François Rabelais, scourge of Victorian vicarages, supplier of "Bawdy Classics" to Playboy, and currently patron saint of the scato- logical satire magazine La Grosse Bertha. This latest accolade, from a nihilist organ, reflects the usual French mistrust and marginalization of Rabelais: this pre-classical purveyor of the belly laugh, advocate of untrammeled freedom ("Do What Thou Wilt" is the motto of his Abbaye de Theleme), founding father of the French Revolution, pre- siding genius at the insurrectionary Events of May 1968, and rene- gade monk is justly rewarded, in Paris, with the truncated rue Rabe- lais, a mere side-turning to the north of the elegant avenue Montaigne. Yet more than two hundred scholars, including the cream of French seizièmistes, gathered at Tours in 1984 to celebrate his 500th birthday with a congress of matchless erudition. -- The little we know of the historical François Rabelais suggests that the academics were right and the municipal authorities wrong. -- There is little evidence of an anarchic temperament. Son of a prosper- ous Chinon lawyer, he was probably born in 1483, though possibly as late as 1494. It is likely that he studied law as a youth, but then entered the religious life, spending at least twenty years as a Francis- can friar and a Benedictine monk. Re-entering the world as a secular priest, he studied medicine at Montpellier University, and was ap- pointed physician to an important hospital, the Hôtel-Dieu in Lyon. There he entered the circle of the influential Du Bellay clan, serving" from introduction. ISBN 9780866981811 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 383. N° de réf. du vendeur 1271941
