The Comic Romance

3.04 (166 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): Paul Scarron

Translated by: Jacques Houis

Paul Scarrons masterpiece, The Comic Romance, recounts the adventures of a troupe of provincial itinerant actors, skilfully weaving multiple narrative strands such as the personal histories and love stories of the central couples Destiny and Star and Léandre and Angélique, the farcical misadventures of the buffoonish Ragotin and various tales inspired by Spanish novelas into a rich tapestry depicting side by side the realities of rural France and the realms of the imagination. A milestone of picaresque literature that would influence Henry Fielding, The Comic Romance spawned countless imitations when it was published and was championed in the nineteenth century by eminent literary figures such as Théophile Gautier and Gérard de Nerval.
