Dorothy Osborne: sensibilidad e ironía epistolar
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this article we approach the major aspects of the 17th century epistolary writer Dorothy Osborne who, though considered a minor writer for her scanty work, has been held a female forerunner of the later great 18th century novelists. Indeed Sterne, Smollett, Richardson or Fielding, produced works that were, to a great extent, based on epistolary correspondence of fictional characters. Dorothy's 84 personal letters written to his "friend" and would be husband Sir W. Temple between 1652 and 1654, ooze out a great literary sensibility, through a personal, informal and emotive style, while making avail of irony in the face of various social and political facts and events of his time.
