This anthology of scholarly translations of medieval French farces continues Jody Enders's recovery of a repertoire that remains surprisingly little known. While more than 200 comedies have survived from late medieval and early Renaissance France, they remain marginalized in part because of the politically incorrect and over-the-top humor they represent. Nevertheless, in this book, they are rendered in eminently readable, stageable, classroom-friendly, and funny fashion through Enders's translational practices, dubbed feminist dramaturgy and virtual dramaturgy. Through these methods of translation Enders mines the silences of a literary text and cues for performance in order to recover nonverbal language to speak to audiences in new ways. The twelve plays presented are dedicated to academia, as well as to lesson-teaching and lesson-learning more broadly, and are intended to be studied, taught, and read for pleasure.
