This book is a literary analysis of a collection of French theatrical farces from the 1700s, a form of broad comedy used by travelling players at outdoor fairs. The author collected these farces from both published and unpublished sources and provides an overview of their history and development. He places this form of theatrical presentation in context with the larger theatrical scene of its day and discusses its importance as entertainment for both the aristocracy and the common people of the time. The author presents insights into the evolution of French theatre and evolving tastes in public entertainment.
