This book also references TheGhost Aldonza Lorenzo, a poor peasant girl, whom Don Quixote uses as an inspiration to create [[DulcineaEffect Dulcinea del Toboso]], a ShadowArchetype of the CourtlyLove SatelliteLoveInterest (who represents all that is lovable in a woman, with none of their defects, like the Hero Of Romance represents all that is lovable in a man for Roxane).

Below is a list of shout-outs found in the Edmond Rostand play.

* After Cyrano fights a duel while improvising a poem early in the play, [[Literature/TheThreeMusketeers d'Artagnan]] (also a Gascon) [[LawyerFriendlyCameo shows up briefly]] to tell him how cool it was. [[TruthInTelevision In real life they were contemporaries]] - it would be surprising if Cyrano de Bergerac (1619-1655) and d'Artagnan (1615-1673) had not run into each other quite a bit.
* In Act I Scene VII: [[HistoricalDomainCharacter Theophrast Reunadet]] [[TheCameo shows up briefly only to be dismissed by Cyrano]] (''"Who cares?"''). Renaudet was homely and this affected him throughout his life (the real Cyrano seemed not so affected by this), an incident at his youth drove him to help the poor and the outcasts, highly idealistic and talented, was named the royal doctor and create La Gazzete, the first official paper of the world, and at 1632 was recognized by the King as one of finest Frenchmen. He (like Cyrano in the play) died in obscurity and poverty in 1653. The parallelism between his life and Cyrano’s character in this play were not highlighted by the English wiki article, but they were in the Spanish article: [[http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theophraste_Renaudot here]].
