Teresa de Manzanares de Alonso de Castillo Solórzano et Margot la ravaudeuse de Louis-Charles Fougeret de Monbron
Abstract
The article compares two works: Teresa de Manzanares by Alonso de Castillo Solorzano and Margot la ravaudeuse by Louis-Charles Fougeret de Monbron. Its central aim is to review the main characteristics of Spanish and French picaresque tradition of the 17th and 18th centuries present in both texts. Special attention is paid to both common as well as specific traits, particularly those that announce the secularization of this tradition. Fourgeret de Monbron’s anticlerical posture is thus contrasted with the absence of critique in De Castillo Solorzano.
