By tracing the development of farce in late medieval and Renaissance comedic theater in comparison to the evolution of farce in Rabelais' work, this work distinguishes Rabelais' use of the device from traditional farce. It shows how Rabelais in fact introduced both a radical reformulation of farce, and a new form of humanist satire.
