He distinguishes Rabelais's use of farce from the conservative tradition, showing how the French writer used it as a vehicle to attack the status quo and to suggest alternatives to contemporary legal, educational, and theological systems.French drama (Comedy)History and criticismFarceHistory and criticismElectronic books.French drama (Comedy)History and criticism.FarceHistory and criticism.843/.3Hayes E.
