A ' ' curricle ' ' era uma pequena, chaise ou "carruagem" leve de duas rodas, grande o suficiente para o motorista e um passageiro e — mais incomum para um veículo com um único eixo — geralmente desenhados por um par de cavalos cuidadosamente. Era popular no início do século XIX: seu nome — do latim ' currículo ', que significa "correr", "hipódromo" ou "carruagem"[1] — is the equivalent of a "runabout" and it was a rig suitable for a smart young man who liked to drive himself, at a canter. The French liked the English-sounding term "carrick" for these vehicles. The lightweight swept body with just the lightest dashboard hung with a pair of lamps was hung from a pair of outsized swan-neck leaf springs at the rear. For a grand show in the Bois de Boulogne or along the seafront at Honfleur, two liveried mounted grooms might follow.[2]
In Northanger Abbey Henry Tilney drives a curricle; John Thorpe drives a gig, but buffoonishly praises it as "curricle-hung". Margaret Sullivan found that Jane Austen's assignment of vehicles to the two men was far from arbitrary.[3]
Curricles were notorious for the accidents their drivers suffered.[4] Thus, in the romance novel Miss Carlyle's Curricle by Karen Harbaugh, the heroine inherits the curricle in which her uncle died in a racing accident.[5]
