| Summary: | Letters in 19th century English literature are a frequent item. They are texts written by characters that can break into the middle of a story or form a novel by themselves. Because they are texts within a whole that is the novel, the letters are constituted as an apparently hermetic unit that is closed and independent. They seem unalterable and self-sufficient, but in reality they are fictions that affect both the text in which they are framed, and the frame that affects how it is read. Works such as Samuel Richardson's Pamela, Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein present particular uses of letters that appeal to the reader. They give meaning to the work as a whole by establishing a correspondence between its parts. Taking the above into account, it is worth asking what this particular type of correspondence established between the reader and the text through letters consists of. And also, in what way does diminishing or reinforcing the hermeticism of the letters change the reading of the novels?. |
