It is difficult to say whether Plautus, like the author of Gil BLAS, felt a moral indifference to the characters he brought on the stage, so long as he could make them amusing; or whether, like Balzac, but with more humour and less cynicism, he had a peculiar delight in following human corruption into its last retreats.
"The Roman Poets of the Republic"

From that blessed little room, Roderick Random, Peregrine Pickle, Humphrey Clinker, Tom Jones, The Vicar of Wakefield, Don Quixote, Gil BLAS, and Robinson Crusoe, came out, a glorious host to keep me company.
"Dickens As an Educator"
James L. (James Laughlin) Hughes
I've telephoned to the Gil BLAS for them to do as much for us.
