Primarily meant to host studies about the drama of the English – and European – Renaissance, as well as the culture in which it is rooted, the THETA series aims to be a forum of exchange and debate. As in the previous issues the topic of the present volume, which derives from the Eighth Round Table on Tudor Drama held at Tours in June 2000, the problematics of puzzling laughter, is addressed in various dramatic works of the Tudor period. Explicit or merely umed, such occurrences of an intrinsically diverse and ambivalent phenomenon are hardly amenable to the stereotypes of comedy. In their different ways the nineteen essays in the volume focus on interpretations which relate laughter to the dramatic and aesthetic economy of the works considered, probe its links with medical theory, with genre or intellectual views influential at the time or again, beyond the pregnancy of zeitgeist and functional uses, suggest the relevance of recent umptions by cognitive science. Consacrée à la publication d’études sur le théâtre de la renaissance européenne – et d’abord anglaise – ainsi que sur la culture qui le nourrit, la collection THETA se veut lieu de rencontre et de débat, accueillant sans exclusive toutes les approches. Ce sixième recueil issu de la 8 e Table Ronde du Théâtre Tudor tenue à Tours en juin 2000, est consacré aux formes énigmatiques du rire dans diverses pièces de théâtre empruntées, comme pour les précédents volumes, à l’ensemble de la période Tudor. Manifestes ou présumées mais irréductibles aux stéréotypes du comique, ces occurrences d’un phénomène intrinsèquement lourd de sens multiples bénéficient dans les dix-neuf essais d’explications croisées.
