004 - Lady Susan Letters 21 - 24

from Lady Susan · host Jane Austen

In her 1795 masterpiece, Lady Susan, Jane Austen showcases her skill in the epistolary novel genre. This short yet captivating work delves into the self-serving antics of Lady Susan as she navigates romantic entanglements and seeks suitable husbands for both herself and her daughter. What makes this narrative truly fascinating is not just the unfolding drama, but Austens intricate portrayal of character through their correspondence. Lady Susan cleverly adjusts the tone of her letters depending on the recipient, allowing her character to blossom through various perspectives. The opinions of other letter-writers add layers to Lady Susans identity, yet they also highlight the subjectivity of judgment, predominantly conveyed through the exchanges of women. This exploration of feminine gossip and jealousy invites readers to scrutinize the characters quirks and ultimately form their own impressions of Lady Susan, much like they would with any real-life acquaintance.

Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) Vampires of the Paper Flower Consortium Elizabeth Guizzetti Come for the evening, stay for eternity!
