Laughter at the Foot of the Cross by M A Screech
Takes as its starting point the group of concepts centred on "good" madness (and, later, on laughter and comedy) which were discovered and developed in the Renaissance as objects of historical study. They led to a subtle shift of emphasis in many domains - theology, literature, law and medicine.
M.A. Screech is a Senior Research Fellow of All Souls College and an Extraordinary Fellow Elect of Wolfson College, Oxford. He is a Fellow of the British Academy and of the Royal Society of Literature. His recent books include French and English studies of Erasmus, Rabelais and Montaigne, an English translation of the complete Essays of Montaigne and (with Anne Screech) the final volume of Erasmus' Annotations on the New Testament.
