The arguments of reason. Osten D.

“The arguments of reason” is a short household novel, written in 1816 and first published posthumously under the same cover with the Northenger Abbey. Ironically and subtly, the author draws portraits of “county” girls dreaming of marriage and chasing the inheritance, respectable Matron, self -loving and selfish beauties. The exciting life story of the daughter of the famous baron, Sir Walter, who was in his own fault in a difficult financial situation, has been filmed more than once.
