| Resumo: | In the presented monograph, the author analyzes drama created within the aesthetics of French social protest theater, which was crafted by politically engaged writers at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. This book is dedicated to the work L’Abbé Prout (1902), known as Father Windbag, by Paul Ranson, which has been translated into Polish for the first time (Ojczulek Puściwiatr). In this drama, the writer and painter associated with the Nabis group critiques the Catholic Church, represented by the titular Windbag, whose behavior contradicts the values he preaches to his followers. Ranson boldly sketches the character of the priest, mocking his vices and flaws, such as drunkenness, gluttony, and sexual promiscuity. This ruthless farce, using scatological language akin to Alfred Jarry’s, aligns with the poetics of medieval theater, which also ruthlessly exposed the perverse behaviors of the nobility. Ranson similarly directs the satire not only at the clergy but also at the main representatives of power (aristocracy, generals, etc.) |
