RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Recuperando la tradición femenina del género epistolar: el didactismo crítico de Fay Weldon en Letters to Alice on First Reading Jane Austen A1 Morales Ladrón, Marisol AB Fay Weldon’s Letters to Alice on First Reading Jane Austen (1984)is a collection of letters addressed to a niece in which the female narrator,named Fay, tries to convince Alice of the significance of JaneAusten’s novels. Considered as one of Weldon’s pieces of literary criticism,this work has not received much critical attention. In this discussionI should like to offer a more detailed exploration of Letters toAlice, which reveals that it can be classified both as a novel that rewritesthe tradition of the epistolary genre, and as a critical work withwhich the author develops her own theory about the art of writing andreading; a double nature which is made explicit through the constanttransgression of the boundaries between fiction and reality.
