of La Fontaine.

This work is important as the principal literary monument in
the English language of that period.

The poet 'thrummed' three books into one in his work, namely,
Wace's 'Geste des Bretons' (1155), his chief source, Baeda's
work in his own Latin, and Alfred's translation of the
same. The author has the distinction of being the first to
commemorate King Arthur in English verse.

=LAZARILLO DE TORMES.= [1554.]

THE PLEASAUNT HISTORIE OF LAZARILLO DE TORMES, A SPANIARDE ... draune out of Spanish by David Rowland ... 1586.

'This little work may be thought by some of a low and trifling
nature: but it is the first of a race of comic romances. For
wit, spirit and inexhaustible resources ... there is nothing
like the Spanish rogue'.

'The first novela picaresca, or rogue story'. The appearance
of this work (1554) marks the date at which such stories first
took shape as a distinct branch of the novel, to be known as
the 'picaroon' or 'picaresque'. From that time, for nearly
a century, the 'Novelas de Picaros' are a chief product of
Spanish writing. Chief among the progeny of 'Lazarillo' are
'Guzman de Alfarache' (1599), a sequel to 'L' itself by Luma
(1620), and 'The Life of Buscon' by Quevedo (1626). All these
were quickly translated into English. In England the effect
of the picaresque novel first appears in the 'Jack Wilton' of
Nash. In France the type passed through the hands of Scarron
and Le Sage, whose 'Diable Boiteau' and 'Gil Blas' were
destined to eclipse the fame of the Spanish originals. From
the examples of France this species broke out in England with
the 'Moll Flanders' and 'Colonel Jack' of Defoe, the 'Joseph
Andrews' of Fielding, the 'Roderick Random' and 'Peregrine
Pickle' of Smollett. In the nineteenth century it finds its
congeners in the 'Three Musketeers' of Dumas and in the works
of several minor English novelists. 'Mr. Jingle does not
essentially differ from this type'.

which are most received in the English school of this day'.

in the philosophy of the beautiful, has perhaps influenced
more minds than any other work on æsthetics except those of
Aristotle and Longinus'. To countless others besides Macaulay
it has been their first illumination of the everlasting
principles of beauty.

TARTUFFE; or THE FRENCH PURITAN; a comedy (1667). _Tr._ by M. Medburne, 1670.

WORKS; The first collected works were translated by J. Ozell, 6 v. 1714.

The writings of Molière were greatly influenced by the dramas
of Plautus. His 'L'Avare' is from the 'Aulularia', and his
'Amphitryon' from 'Amphitruo'.

Molière was also influenced by the writings of Terence, and
his 'Ecole des Maris' is from the 'Adelphi', and his 'Les
Fourberies de Scapin' from the 'Phormio' of Terence.

The plays of M. were imitated by Wycherley and Farquhar and the
post-Restoration dramatists. Meredith in his 'Essay on Comedy'
admits his profound and salutary influence on English fiction.

Molière was copied, adapted, translated by English writers, and
that not merely for reading, but for acting purposes. Dryden
translated 'L'Etourdi' as 'Sir Martin Mar-All'; Vanburgh turned
'Le Dépit Amoureux' into 'The Mistake'; Wycherley offered 'The
Plain Dealer' as a version of 'Le Misanthrope'; Fielding's
'Mock-Doctor' is 'Le Médecin Malgré Lui', his 'Miser' is
Molière's 'L'Avare'; Colley Cibber converted 'Tartuffe' into
'The Non-Juror'.

=MONTAIGNE, MICHAEL E. DE.= _b._ 1533, _d._ 1589. =French philosopher and essayist.=

THE ESSAYS, (ESSAIS) or, MORALL, POLITIKE AND MILLITARIE DISCOURSES OF LO: M. DE MONTAIGNE ... now done into English by J. Florio, 1603.

The first model of the essay. To Elizabethan England the
'Essays' of M. were well-known either directly or through
the translation of Florio. The 'Essays' of Bacon are clearly
indebted to his example. How far his influence has extended is
incalculable.

DIANA. [With a second part of A. Perez and also a continuation: entitled, Enamoured Diana, by G. G. Polo.] _Tr._ by B. Yong, 1598.

Spenser's 'Shepherd's Calendar' and Sidney's 'Arcadia' are both
influenced by M.

'From the "Arcadia" of Sanazzaro on the one hand, and from the
"libros de caballerias" on the other, the Portuguese-Spaniard
Montemayor created his famous "Diana." This work, like Sidney's
"Arcadia," is partly in prose and partly in verse, and, in
such English development as arose from the pastoral, the
influence of the Spaniard must be reckoned with that of the
Neapolitan. It appears in Spenser's "Shepheard's Calendar", and
incidentally, it may be observed, that before writing his "Two
Gentlemen of Verona" Shakespeare would seem at least to have
been told of the substance of Montemayor'.
