The roman-charogne (Roman=novel, charogne=carrion) is a term coined by Théophile Gautier in the 19th century to denote a genre of literature exemplified in such novels as L'âne mort et la femme guillotinée.
Théophile Gautier wrote in 1834, in the preface to Mademoiselle de Maupin:
- "À côté du roman moyen âge verdissait le roman-charogne, genre de roman très agréable, et dont les petites-maîtresses nerveuses et les cuisinières blasées faisaient une très grande consommation."
- "Beside the romance of the Middle Ages flourished the carrion romance, a very pleasing variety, which nervous petites-maîtresses and blasé cooks consumed in great numbers."
