LE BURLESQUE SELON LES PERRAULT OEUVRES ET CRITIQUES
Édités, annotés et commentées par Claudine Nédelec et Jean Leclerc
PERRAULT CHARLES, CLAUDE, NICOLAS ET PIERRE
Editing the Perrault brothers’ fictional and theoretical texts on the burlesque sheds some light on certain aesthetic and ideological transformations of the late 17th-century. More than a delightful game with literary and linguistic codes, the burlesque was to them an expression of their modern way of thinking.
