From one vantage point, The Scruffy Scoundrels would appear to be no more than a series of unrelated scenes and sketches grouped around a highly conventionalized and loosely structured love plot: the arrival of Pilucca and Tindaro in Rome abounding in topical references; the appearance of the two ragged brothers so arbitrarily related to the rest of the events of the play; the love squabble between two servants that leads to Nuta?s memorably comic invective; the stock farcical routines of the Mirandola episodes; the long pathetic tale of Tindaro so little of which actually takes place on the stage. There is a sense, however, in which each scene contains its own ethos and milieu and hails from a particular comic genre, each with its own topoi and character types. This efficient management of plot is simply a measure of Caro?s comic genius. 410 0$aCarleton Renaissance plays in translation. 606 $aItalian fiction 606 $aItalian literature 615 0$aItalian fiction. 615 0$aItalian literature. 676 $a852/.4 700 $aCaro$b Annibal$f1507-1566.$0154388 701 $aCiavolella$b Massimo$f1942-$0169279 701 $aBeecher$b Donald$0990999 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154758403321 996 $aThe scruffy scoundrels (Gli straccioni)$94202282 997 $aUNINA
