About this Item

12mo. 579p. Vol. 6 of a collected edition of Scarron's works published in 7 volumes in Amsterdam by J. Wetstein in 1752. Wanting the title-page. Mottled calf, gold-tooled spine (head of spine chipped); marbled endpapers; red-edged leaves. The eight plays contained in this volume are: Le marquis ridicule, L écolier de Salamanque, L héritier ridicule, Jodelet ou le maître valet, D. Japhet d Arménie, La fausse apparence, Le prince corsaire. Two of these are Scarron s best-known comedies: Jodelet, ou le maître-valet - in early productions of which the title role of the comic valet was played by the famous comic actor Julien Lespy, known as Jodelet - and Don Japhet d Arménie, a play in which the main character s exaggerated sense of his dignity, his grandiloquent language and the grotesque humiliations to which he is exposed, provide an element of buffoonery.
