The Nouvelles R¿¿ions et Joyeaux Devis of Bonaventure des P¿ers are here translated for the first time into modern English. The translators have been successful in retaining the vitality of this important French Renaissance satirist, turning his colloquial sixteenth-century French into equally colloquial and lively American. The translation of the 129 tales is prefaced by a biographical study of des P¿ers both as man and artist, and a critical bibliography is also included.
