As Miss Margaret Lesley and Miss Charlotte Lutterell divulge their innermost secrets through a series of letters, each reveals where her true priorities lie: if a bridgegroom is fatally woundeed the night before his wedding, the first concern must inexorably be for the luxurious food that will be laid to waste. As one plot gives way to the next, and as the heroines exchange wisdom on adultery, elopement, divorce and remarriage, they increasingly become prey to the merciless and lambasting sword of Jane Austen’s wit. “Lesley Castle” is Jane Austen’s inspired novella in letters. In it she presents a series of outrageously superficial characters, brilliantly showcasing her comic genius. “Lesley Castle” is presented here alongside “A History of England” and “Catherine”, the crowning achievement of Austen’s early writing. źródło opisu: Z okładki
