1. The last specialised study of Deburau (the most famous and
influential mime actor of all time) in French or English was the
biography by Tristan Remy in 1954, Jean-Gaspard Deburau. 2. This
book is very wide-ranging: starting with Deburau's Pierrot figure,
it discusses nineteenth-century theatre, novels, poetry, society,
and twentieth-century echoes in cinema and modern mime. 3. Readers
who think they know who and what 'Pierrot' is (and was) will be
surprised by what they find in this book; for example, his relation
to colonialism and race. 4. There are 26 figures in the book, all
of them discussed in depth. 5. Deburau is well-known among
scholars, and the wider public know his image even if they can't
necessarily put a name to it, but he has never been studied through
such a wide range of manuscript as well as published sources, many
of them identified for the first time.
