Michael Morpurgo | Welcome :: Michael Rosen - The Website :: Megan McDonald J’ai lu toute l’œuvre de Jane Austen, plusieurs fois Temps de lecture: 15 min Comment se fait-il que tant de lecteurs, souvent parmi les plus intelligents, de Jane Austen considèrent son roman le plus faible comme son meilleur? Persuasion, l’histoire de la tendre et dévouée Anne Elliot (qui a commis une erreur des années auparavant et en souffre encore au début du récit), est un roman au ton didactique, plein de personnages manichéens, voire caricaturaux. C’est aussi le moins drôle des livres d’Austen. Au sujet de The Watsons, l’un des livres inachevés d’Austen, Virginia Woolf a un jour écrit que «le côté sévère et dépouillé des premiers chapitres» laisse penser qu’elle «était l’un de ces écrivains qui posent les choses de manière assez abrupte lors de la première version, puis y reviennent sans cesse pour apporter toujours plus de chair à leurs personnages et d’ambiance à l’ensemble». Woolf aurait pu parler en ces termes de Persuasion. La noblesse de l'âge et de la tristesse Son sort est aussi le plus tragique. Complicité Adelle Waldman
