For this bilingual (English-French) anthology of early modern
fictitious catalogues, selections were made from a multitude of
texts, from the genre's beginnings (Rabelais's satirical catalogue
of the Library of St.-Victor (1532)) to its French and Dutch
specimens from around 1700. In thirteen chapters, written by
specialists in the field, diverse texts containing fictitious
booklists are presented and contextualized. Several of these texts
are well known (by authors such as Fischart, Doni, and Le Noble),
others - undeservedly - are less known, or even unrecorded. The
anthology is preceded by a literary historical and theoretical
introduction addressing the parodic and satirical aspects of the
genre, and its relationship to other genres: theatre, novel, and
pamphlet. Contributors: Helwi Blom, Tobias Bulang, Raphael
Cappellen, Ronnie Ferguson, Dirk Geirnaert, Jelle Koopmans, Marijke
Meijer Drees, Claudine Nedelec, Patrizia Pellizzari, Anne-Pascale
Pouey-Mounou, Paul J. Smith, and Dirk Werle.
