Book Synopsis
Pierre de Lavirey was born in the east of France and died in Troyes. Little is known about him, but he has left behind him adaptations into French of nine Italian plays which make him one of the most prolific writers of comedy in the sixteenth century. Les Tromperies formed part of the second collection of adaptations written by Lavirey.

Trade Review


“This volume brings to one hundred the number of texts published by Exeter University Press in the highly regarded Textes Littéraires series edited by Keith Cameron. Well produced and attractively presented, this modern edition of Pierre de Larivey’s Les Tromperies is in all respects a worthy successor to the other volumes in the series.” (Modern Literary Review, Volume 96 No. 3, 2001) “This well-presented and informative edition contains one of the nine plays the prolific Larivey adapted from an Italian original . . . [and] with its concisely formulated scholarship provides a very useful insight into Italian and French Renaissance comedy.” (French Studies, Issue LIV No. 3, 2000)
