- Abstract:
- Compares Evelina, from Frances Burney's "Evelina," and Werther, from Goethe's "Young Werther." Argues that though they could readily be made to seem opposite to one another, as they seek company with such disparate groups of people, the difference is superficial, and their motivations, the same -- namely, to make use of their associations with "purer" peoples to distinguish themselves narcissistically from their own particular "worst sorts of people."
