GOMBERVILLE, MARIN LE ROY, SIEUR DU PARC ET DE (16001674)

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GOA-GRA
GOMBERVILLE, MARIN LE ROY, SIEUR DU PARC ET DE (16001674) , French novelist and miscellaneous writer, was born at Paris in 1600. At fourteen years of age he wrote a volume of verse, at twenty a Discours sur l'histoire and at twenty-two a
pastoral
 , La Carithee, which is really a novel. The persons in it, though still disguised as shepherds and shepherdesses, represent real persons for whose identification the author himself provides a key. This was followed by a more ambitious attempt, Polexandre (5 vols. 16321637). The hero wanders through the world in
search
  of the
island
 
home
  of the princess Alcidiane. It contains much history and geography; the travels of Polexandre extending to such unexpected places as
Benin
 , the
Canary
  Islands,
Mexico
  and the Antilles, and incidentally we learn all that was then known of Mexican history. Cytheree (4 vols.) appeared in 163o1642, and in 1651 the Jeune Alcidiane, intended to undo any harm the earlier novels may have done, for Gomberville became a Jansenist and spent the last twenty-five years of his
life
  in pious retirement. He was one of the earliest and most energetic members of the
Academy
 . He died in Paris on the 14th of June 1674.
