    Description

    Early Edition, Leather Binding, Scarce

    An early edition.

    Bound in full calf, rebacked.

    Dated using Jisc, from a copy of the work held at the University of Oxford.

    'Le Roman Comique' was written in parts, with the first part published in 1651, the second in 1657 and the third left unfinished due to the author's untimely death. The novels centers on a group of actors living in Le Mans, recounting their exciting adventures, with themes of romance, destiny, treachery and much more.

    In the original French, this novel was written by Paris-born novelist, dramatist and poet, Paul Scarron.

    Illustrated with a frontispiece. Collated, complete.
