His second book, Script error: No such module "Lang"., was published in 1675 on epic poetry.[2] It was highly praised by Nicolas Boileau-Despréaux.[3] Its leading doctrine was that the subject should be chosen before the characters, and that the action should be arranged without reference to the personages who are to figure in the scene.[2] This book was reprinted in several editions, and was translated into English.[1]
