This historical novel is the third and final book in American poet and fiction writer Janet Lewis's
Cases of Circumstantial Evidence
series, based on legal case studies compiled in the nineteenth century. In
The Ghost of Monsieur Scarron
, Lewis returns to her beloved France, the setting of
The Wife of Martin Guerre
, her best-known novel and the first in the series. As Swallow Press executive editor Kevin Haworth relates in a new introduction, Monsieur Scarron shifts the reader into the center of Paris in 1694, during the turbulent reign of the Sun King, Louis XIV. The junction of this time and place gives Monsieur Scarron an intriguing political element not apparent in either
or
The Trial of Sören Qvist
.
begins in a small bookbinder's shop on a modest Paris street, but inexorably expands to encompass a tumultuous affair, growing social unrest, and the conflicts between a legal system based on oppressive order and a society about to undergo harsh changes. With its domestic drama set against a larger political and historical backdrop, Monsieur Scarron is considered by some critics and readers to be the most intricately layered and fully realized book of Lewis's long career. Originally published in 1959, Monsieur Scarron has remained in print almost continuously ever since.
