The Rabelaisian MythologiesFairleigh Dickinson Univ Press, 1996 - 293 páginas Gauna then devotes a chapter to each of the Rabelaisian chronicles, considered as mythology. An outline of all significant sections is provided, but where existing interpretations seem satisfactory, the reader is simply referred to the relevant critical literature. Thus, while chapters 1 and 2 are relatively shorter insofar as the philosophical content of the first book is episodic and that of the second largely clear-cut, new exegeses of certain sections of both are adumbrated. Chapter 3 suggests a new reading of the third book as a whole, in which Rabelais is seen to draw inspiration from the doctrines of Plato and the battle of Socrates with the sophists, incorporating into his worldview the central role of divination and the good demons who mediate between God and man. |
