This book argues that
is a comic Romance, a comic Epic in prose, unique and incomparable, and that it is thoroughly in the epic-romance tradition. Its affinities are with Ariosto and Cervantes,
and Sidney's
, and this means that it is not answerable to modes of criticism proper enough to another literary realm but quite inadequate for the romance.
