She has separated her heroine from friends to make it that much more pricarious for Catherine. I wonder if there was any particular influence in her life at the time she wrote this one.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165476065084497877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777060934365906420.post-83213366989102345652009-08-05T03:33:58.160-07:002009-08-05T03:33:58.160-07:00Great review!

It will set you up for the type of settings and characterizations typical of the rest of Austen's works.

I usually read some pages from the novel with my students after introducing and reading some Gothic Novels. It is so interesting!I also love the last ITV adaptation. It's lovely. I too wrote about Catherine, as well as about her famous ancestor and heiress, in one of my posts on Fly High! <br />BTW I've just posted my first review for the EVERYTHING AUSTEN CHALLENGE but my reading of the completion of Sanditon was quite disappointing! Jane's original novels are unique, inimitable, unvaluable.<br />Ciao!MGMaria Graziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876779286144473782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777060934365906420.post-40262544587082908942009-07-23T13:17:28.434-07:002009-07-23T13:17:28.434-07:00Fab review, Lucy :)
