Master Pierre Patelin: A Farce in Three Acts is a delightful English translation of the classic medieval French play. Attributed to an unknown author of the 15th century, this enduring comedy revolves around the cunning lawyer, Master Patelin, whose schemes and deceptions lead to humorous and ironic consequences. This edition, translated by Richard Thayer Holbrook and originally published in 1914, makes this important work accessible to a wider audience.
The play showcases the wit and humor of the late Middle Ages, offering a glimpse into the social dynamics and everyday life of the period. Patelin's cleverness and the play's intricate plot have made it a beloved example of French farce. Readers will appreciate Holbrook's rendering of the original French into lively and engaging English prose, preserving the spirit and charm of this timeless comedic masterpiece.
