L'énonciation polyphonique dans l'Histoire comique de Francion de Sorel et Le roman comique de Scarron

"Inaugurating a new poetry, l'Histoire comique de Francion, elaborated by the young virtuoso novelist Sorel, and Le Roman comique de Scaroon open a royal way to romantic creation in crisis at the beginning of the seventeenth century. Transgressing the chivalrous tradition that they parody and constantly turn into derision, these two novelists confer on the comic vein an incontestable consistency and heuristic depth." --Translated from back cover
