CCF and JA
Posted by Elizabeth Rose on April 19, 1998 at 20:53:48:
With all of this talk of how like Emma Flora Poste is, I was most struck by the similarities with NA. As Barbara noted below, the overblown, gothic prose Gibbons uses in her descriptions is almost openly mocking of some novels of that style (whatever their time period might be). I can't help but be reminded of Catherine Morland's novels and Henry Tilney's mocking of them (esp in a passage quoted in a thread below - courtesy of HC's Info page).
Lizzie, who's probably wondering way off the path of reasonable conjecture
