Trade Review
"Berrong's systematic refutation of Bakhtin's Rabelais and His World is welcome. Its timing and relevance are perfect. What he says had to be said. It cleans the atmosphere, eliminates wrong ideas, puts Rabelais in a proper perspective, and addresses questions of grat importance for our understanding not only of Rabelais, but of sixteenth-century literature as well."—Gérard Defaux, Johns Hopkins University.
