Love and Freindship (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Although Jane Austen is best known for novels such as Pride and Prejudice that deal with romantic entanglements and class conflicts, she was also a skilled essayist and humor writer. In "Love and Freindship" (sic), Austen sends up the epistolary novels that were popular in her day, as well as skewering some of the satire-worthy ideas about love and marriage that were common in the era.

Rezensionen

Spirited, easy, full of fun, verging with freedom upon sheer nonsense . . . At fifteen she had few illusions about other people and none about herself Virginia Woolf
