LACHÈVRE III, 194. First edition. A Parisian playwright sometimes confused with the Rouen author of Banquet des Muses (1623), he is said to have been a lawyer and friend of Du Ryer and an enemy of Hardy. The plot is drawn from episodes in the Astrée (books IV and V). The rivalry between a king and his son, after romantic events including the siege of a town and a duel, ends with the marriage of the prince and the heroine, both of whom obtain the king's pardon. (Bound in the suite:) LE HAYER DU PERRON, Pierre - Les Heureuses Advantures. Tragi-comédie. Paris, Anthoine de Sommaville, 1633. 12 ff, 127 pp; 61 pp (other works). SOLEINNE I, 1109. First edition. The author, born in Alençon in 1603, served as a magistrate there and died in 1679. He was one of the first members of the Académie de Caen. Georges de Scudéry's verses are among the praises in the introductory pieces. The play, which belongs to the pastoral genre, features three couples who have assumed the guise of shepherds in Sicily to escape persecution. It contains a number of twists and turns, such as the identification of a prince kidnapped by barbarian pirates and found to be their captain. The author then added his poems on love, nature, the death of two friends and a satire. -- PICHOU - Les Folies de Cardenio. Tragi-comedy. Dedicated to Monsieur de Sainct Simon. Paris, Claude Marette, 1633. 4 pages, 150 pp. including Autres oeuvres (pp. 125-150). LOSADA GOYA (Spanish literature in France) n°151. The author, born in Dijon at the end of the 16th century, was murdered around 1631. He was under the protection of Henri II, Prince of Condé. He enjoyed great success with the first of his plays featuring two episodes from Don Quixote: the adventures of Cardenio and Luscinda and those of Fernando and Dorotea. The play was followed by poems by Pichou, including : Stances à Monseigneur le Cardinal de Rchelieu - Sur la guérison du Roy, et descente des Anglois en l'isle de Ré pendant sa maladie en l'an 1627 - Sur la mort de Théophile en l'an 1626 (in his praise of the poet he is cautious) - Stances à boire. His verses have been judged harmonious like those of Racine and vigorous like those of Corneille. -- DURVAL, Jean-Gilbert - Agarithe. A tragi-comedy dedicated to Madame la Duchesse de Nemours. Paris, François Targa, 1636, (8) ff, 126 pp, (1) f. LACHÈVRE II, 275. First edition. Little is known of Durval, except that he may have been an actor, returned to the service of the Duc de Nemours in 1631 and is said to have published Discours à Cliton at the time of the Cid quarrel. It depicts the rivalry between a king and one of his subjects, and various subterfuges to distract the monarch from his passion.
