Jane Austen

CULTUREA

Prix public : 9,00 €

"Lesley Castle" is an early work by the British writer Jane Austen, written in 1792. It is an epistolary novella which consists mainly of letters exchanged between the characters, a common literary format at the time. The story takes place in the small town of Lesley Castle and revolves around the social relationships, romances, gossip and characters' characters. The story is told primarily through the letters of Margaret Lesley, who writes to her friend, Miss Charlotte Lutterell. Margaret's letters describe the intrigues and events that take place at Lesley Castle, including the infatuations and disenchantments of the inhabitants. The text is both a satire of the social conventions of the time and a humorous exploration of human characters and behavior. Jane Austen already shows her talent for keen observation of social interactions and her subtle humor. Although "Lesley Castle" is not as well known as Jane Austen's major novels, it offers an interesting insight into her early literary works and her developing writing style.
