Les Geants de Rabelais: Folklore, Histoire Ancienne, Nationalisme [French]

By Walter Stephens

Book Overview

Rabelais's Giants, both scholarly and Christian, have played a crucial role in the evolution of the figure of the giant since the Old Testament. Rabelaisian fictions are born out of the opposition between the malevolent giants from folk tradition and the heroic giants of a new nationalist history.
