In The World Upside Down in 16th Century French Literature and
Visual Culture Vincent Robert-Nicoud offers an interdisciplinary
account of the topos of the world upside down in early modern
France. To call something 'topsy-turvy' in the sixteenth century is
to label it as abnormal. The topos of the world upside down evokes
a world in which everything is inside-out and out of bounds: fish
live in trees, children rule over their parents, and rivers flow
back to their source. The world upside down proves to be key in
understanding how the social, political, and religious turmoil of
sixteenth-century France was represented and conceptualised, and
allows us to explore the dark side of the Renaissance by unpacking
one of its most prevalent metaphors.
