It's not just "frauds, hoaxes, and counterfeits," according to the author in his introduction, but also "falseness, the false, artifice, ruse, simulacrum, jokes, practical jokes, spoofs, deceptions, subterfuges, feints, wiles,..." The list goes on, and it includes literary fiction, and Carpenter (French, Carleton College, Minnesota) focuses on the broad theme of fraudulence in works by Mérímée, Balzac, Baudelaire, Sand, and others, placing them in the context of other cultural phenomena, such as caricature, political history, and ceremonial events.
