SOREL, CHARLES, SIEUR DE SOUVIGNY (1597-1674)

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 433 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SIV-SOU
SOREL, CHARLES, SIEUR DE SOUVIGNY (1597-1674) , French novelist and miscellaneous writer, was born in Paris about 1597. Very little is known of his
life
  except that in 1635 he was historiographer of France. He wrote on science, history and religion, but is only remembered by his novels. He tried to destroy the vogue of the
pastoral
  romance by writing a novel of adventure, the Histoire comique de Francion (1622). The episodical adventures of Francion found many readers, who nevertheless reserved their admiration for the Astree it was intended to ridicule.
Sorel
  decided to make his intention unmistakable, and in Le Berger extravagant (3 vols., 1627) he wrote a
burlesque
 , in which a Parisian shop-boy, his head turned by sentiment, chooses an unprepossessing mistress and starts
life
  as a shepherd with a dozen sheep on the banks of the Seine.
Sorel
  did not succeed in
founding
  the novel of
character
 , and what he accomplished was more in the direction of farce, but he struck a shrewd
blow
  at romance. Among his other works are Polyandre (1648) and La Connaissance des bons livres (1673). He died in Paris on the 8th of
March
  1674.
