The Sprites of Kernosy Castle Iter PressSivumäärä: 204 sivuaAsu: Pehmeäkantinen kirjaJulkaisuvuosi: 2024, 29.07.2024 (lisätietoa)Kieli: Englanti A subversive novel from 1710 that questioned political and aesthetic ideologies in eighteenth-century France.
This novel reflects a shift in French values at the turn of the eighteenth century, which saw increased interest in the private lives of the aristocracy and the pre-Enlightenment questioning of political and religious orthodoxies. Novels of fiction and leisure gained popularity, and it was during this time that Henriette-Julie de Castelnau, the Countess de Murat, published her second leisure novel, The Sprites of Kernosy Castle. Combining humor, social satire, and a proto-feminist outlook, Murat crafts a well-constructed plot where the supernatural is debunked. Murat’s career was cut short when a series of “misdemeanors” related to the countess’s homosexual tendencies led to her arrest in 1702. Sprites, which was released during a partial reprieve from prison, is the final published work of this independent-minded early feminist author.
