About This Book

La plaquette présente d’abord un conte galant centré sur une ruse amoureuse conduite avec esprit, puis offre un long commentaire critique qui retrace la genèse éditoriale du texte, interroge les attributions d’auteur, signale variantes et éditions rares, évoque adaptations et interpolations, et discute la morale et la réception de l’anecdote. Le texte mêle érudition bibliographique et plaisanterie littéraire, alternant analyses de style, hypothèses sur l’origine du récit et références aux jugements contemporains.
