COURT AND HUMOUR IN THE FRENCH RENAISSANCE KART...

This collection of essays by thirteen renowned specialists in the fields of French Renaissance
literature and history is a fitting tribute to the scholarship of Pauline Smith  Emeritus
Professor in French at the University of Hull and Research Associate of the Centre for Medieval
and Renaissance Studies  Trinity College  Dublin. The essays  which focus on areas of research
to which Professor Smith has herself given - and continues to give - particular attention  are
organised into two frequently converging strands: court and humour. The contributors engage
with political and cultural issues at the heart of the construction and aesthetic expression of
the French Renaissance  whilst also offering insights into the broader European context. The
collection as a whole challenges and revises a number of established views and identifies paths
for future research.
