French Laughter: Literary Humour from Diderot to Tournier

French Laughter: Literary Humour from Diderot to Tournier The culmination of a lifetimes fascination with humour, Walter Redferns book treats major French writers from the 18th to the 20th centuries as humorists, including Diderot, Rousseau, Sade, Huysmans, Flaubert, Beckett, and Tournier. He considers irony, hyperbole, wordplay, jokes, dialogue, humour as philosophical speculation, and plagiarism.
