La Complainte Des Argotiers - Paperback

by Denis Delaplace (Editor)

The irreverent Complainte des Argotiers (1630) is an anonymous pamphlet which pastiches the Jargon ou Langage de l'Argot reforme (c. 1629). The present edition, with notes and commentary, includes additional material which illuminates this fascinating work: extracts from the original Jargon, a literature review, and a glossary.
