The archetype of the appealing anti-hero is encapsulated in Gil Blas, the star of Alain-René Lesage?s 18th-century picaresque novel. Lesage?s work was influenced by the story Lazarillo de Tormes, a Spanish novella published anonymously in 1554. The cover of an 1846 double publication of those works is reproduced here.
