This book explores the fiction of the French writer François Rabelais (d. 1553) and its engagement with the seemingly unresolvable tensions of hierarchy. It analyses how thinkers from the sixteenth century to the twenty-first have reinterpreted this tension, and Rabelais's reading of it, in light of their own political and cultural concerns.
