Here we have a tediously long but quite thorough definition of why college professors should not make use of all that they know and more than they can imagine to cobble together a picaresque travesty. Recreating an imaginary and perhaps necessarily clumsy (b'm'faith) Seventeenth Century environment solely to write a badly overplotted and underfunny Eighteenth Century novel about it seems in retrospect not to have been Professor Barth's brightest inspiration. IMHO of course as the young folks would say.
