In tracing the course of French comedy from the Renaissance, through the age of Louis XIV and the 18th century, to the eve of the Revolution, originally published in 1977, Geoffrey Brereton shows how it evolved from the crude farces and experimental plays of the 16th century to become a rich and highly sophisticated dramatic genre.
