4.9/5 (23854 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from La Calprenede's Romances and the Restoration Drama, Vol. 2 The present study of the influence of La Calprenede's romances, Cassandra and Cleopatra, on the late seventeenth-century drama is the second of a series concerned with the influence of types of novels on the plays of the period. The first of the series presented the influence of the pastoral romances. On tracing this influence it was found that in the second half of the century new currents of influence were setting in; and that while the older influences persisted to a greater or less extent and in some cases lent themselves with modification to the new spirit, they were no longer in control. Chief among the new forces was the French heroic romance, a type having its beginning in D'Urfe's Astrea (1607-19), maturing in Gombervillz's Polexander (1629-37), and flowering luxuriantly in the romances of La Calprenede and Mile Seudery. And this was the type selected for the present investigation. As the study proceeded the necessity of setting some limitations became imperative, and La Calprenede was chosen as the representative of the heroic school. Later it was found advisable still further to limit the study to Cassandra and Cleopatra. It is hoped that the range is sufficiently broad to indicate the main lines of influence.
