Hardcover. Zustand: Good. A popular picaresque classic of European literature, The Adventures of Gil Blas of Santillane was originally written in French by Alain-René Lesage and first published between 1715 and 1735. This English translation anonymously issued but long attributed to the celebrated novelist Tobias Smollett helped bring the roguish exploits of Gil Blas to a broad British readership. The work follows its titular hero through a series of vivid misadventures, satirising social pretensions, clerical hypocrisy, and the follies of power. This sixth edition, published circa 1785 in four volumes, is "adorned with cuts" (engravings) and reflects the enduring popularity of the translation during the late 18th century. The Adventures of Gil Blas of Santillane, A New Translation, by the Author of Roderick Random. Adorned with cuts, neatly engraved. In Four Volumes. The Sixth Edition. Author is actually unnamed on the title page, but is Alain Rene La Sage. Also unnamed is the translator - Tobias Smollett. Printed for W. Strahan, J. Rivington, T. Davies, W. Johnnston, T.

8vo, pp. [iv], 88, '81-2', [2] epilogue; disbound. First edition. First performed at Drury Lane in December 1767. Garrick and Kenrick patched up their quarrel, but it broke out once more over the division of the profits from this play, with the playwright challenging the actor to a duel (it never took place).
