		Gil Blas is too agreeable a fellow for us to dream of parting company with him merely because of his escapades.
		Yes, Gil Blas, who is a kind of joyous jack-of-all trades, capable, as Fabrice on another occasion puts it, of fulfilling all kinds of employment, since he possesses "l'outil universel," is interesting and sympathetic quite as much because of his sound sense and ready wit as because of his amusing adventures.
		Gil Blas, in short, is the product of the maturity of one of the keenest observers that ever looked out upon the spectacle of things.

	INTRODUCTION by William Morton Fullerton.
		Walter Scott's recognition of the supreme delightfulness of Gil Blas has not been general among the critics; indeed, the sense of its intrinsic value as a definition of life must rather be placed to the credit of the uncritical public.
		James Fitzmaurice-Kelly has shown in his introduction to the edition of Gil Blas published in the "World's Classics." There can be no doubt as to Lesage having ridiculed Voltaire in two of his plays.
		We have witnessed the amusing spectacle arm-in-arm with Gil Blas de Santillane, a puppet of circumstance, but the most good- natured of companions.

	THE ADVENTURES OF GIL BLAS OF SANTILLANE
		29 The arrival of Gil Blas at Madrid
		The application of the scientific method to literary criticism during the last generation has steadily tended to define works of art as ``documents'' of their epoch, and at the same time to classify them according to their structural variations rather than to accept them wholly as sources of human pleasure.
		Gil Blas is a picture, singularly vivid and comprehensive, of the society of France at the close of the reign of Louis XIV and at the beginning of the Regency.

		That last, indeed, "Gil Blas" is; a collection of diseased specimens.
		If its construction is less complete than that of "Gil Blas," it is because its aim is infinitely higher; because the form has to be subordinated, here and there, to the matter.
		If its political economy be imperfect, often chimerical, it is because the mind of one man must needs have been too weak to bring into shape and order the chaos, social and economic, which he saw around him.

	Chapter 1 - A Tour on the Prairies - Washington Irving, Book, etext
		N the often vaunted regions of the Far West, several hundred miles beyond the Mississippi, extends a vast tract of uninhabited country, where there is neither to be seen the log-house of the white man, nor the wigwam of the Indian.
		Having made this mention of my comrades, I must not pass over unnoticed, a personage of inferior rank, but of all-pervading and prevalent importance: the squire, the groom, the cook, the tent man, in a word, the factotum, and, I may add, the universal meddler and marplot of our party.
		This was a little swarthy, meagre, French creole, named Antoine, but familiarly dubbed Tonish: a kind of Gil Blas of the frontier, who had passed a scrambling life, sometimes among white men, sometimes among Indians; sometimes in the employ of traders, missionaries, and Indian agents; sometimes mingling with the Osage hunters.

		I was in Santillana last year and although I didn't stay in the Parador Gil Blas, I walked by it and it looked very nice right in the Plaza.
		I've stayed in both, and while the annex (Parador) rooms are very comfortable, I don't find the public rooms to have any of the special charm that the Gil Blas, a coverted 16th century noble home, has.
		I stayed in Santillana Gil Blas last year, on Maribel's recommendation, and loved both the hotel and the town.

		The host of the programme was a British guy who had always loved Gil Blas in the translation by Smollett.
		He wanted to find out whether Le Sage still had any influence on French literature today and he interviewed a succession of sniffy critics and literati who turned their noses up at this 'minor figure'.
		Finally he came across Michel Deon (an old novelist whose work I'm afraid I don't know), who had loved Le Sage since he was a boy (his teacher had recommended Gil Blas by saying, "Go on, read this, you'll love it").
