Charlotte Temple (Norton Critical Editions) von Susanna Rowson
Realized I had somehow missed reading this along the way and thought it was time to remedy that. Perfectly fine, but not terribly exciting as a novel as far as they go. This one is accompanied by hundreds of pages of contextual material, only some of which is particularly relevant.

Adrianne_p | 3 weitere Rezensionen | Sep 15, 2011 | What would have happened if Mr Darcy had not interested himself in the fate of silly Lydia Bennet? Well, Charlotte Temple is a ‘what might have been’ when a young girl of fifteen is swept off her feet by the dashing Montraville and runs away from her school with the connivance of her French governess – a woman with her own agenda entirely. The ensuing story is Charlotte’s life after the great romantic escape and does not feature a Mr Darcy figure ready with his ‘generous compassion … [to] bear so many mortifications’ to make everything well and happy. A short and fascinating novella encapsulating a common fate the frivolous and wilful Lydia Bennet deserved far more than Charlotte Temple.… (mehr)
