J'ai eu un petit moment ce matin où j'ai compris que je ne me souvenais plus de la dernière fois que j'ai lu un poème en français écrit après 1910 donc je me suis dit qu’il fallait qu'je corrige ça. J'ai trouvé ce bouquin sur le site de la BANQ, j'ai aimé le titre, on verra bien ce que ça donne!

Sigh. Reese is apparently one of those hemp Marxists, which is fine but exhausting. Also the dude is apparently a covid denier, according to a friend of a friend who knows him, so I might not be finishing this book apart from reading ch 5 and 12 for book club.

Well, that was cheerful. And I'm noticing so many more little similarities between Persuasion and P&P and the evolution from P&P to Persuasion is very interesting to think about. The use of the epistolary is so good.

The botched proposal, followed by the heartfelt letters, are such good scenes. Interesting how Persuasion also has the haughty, love forlorn man hand his lady a letter.
