In 'Hostile Humor in Renaissance France', Bruce Hayes investigates this period leading up to the French Wars of Religion, when a deliberately harmful and destructive form of satire appeared.0This study examines both pamphlets and plays to show how this new form of humor emerged that attacked religious practices and people in ways that forever changed the nature of satire and religious debate in France. Hayes explores this phenomenon in the context of the Catholic and Protestant conflict to reveal new insights about the society that both exploited and vilified this kind of satire.French literature16th centuryHistory and criticismRenaissanceFranceFrancefastFrankreichgndCriticism, interpretation, etc.fastFrench literatureHistory and criticism.Renaissance840.9003Hayes E.
