Le journal du Colonel Brandon

Using diaries offers an intimate glimpse into his thoughts, but I wonder if it was challenging to maintain narrative tension this way. Did this choice reveal aspects of his character that traditional narration couldn’t?

His inner thoughts added layers of complexity and vulnerability that aren’t always visible in the original story. I’m curious if this changed how others viewed his role in the romance.

The historical details felt authentic, but I wonder what inspired the author to flesh out certain aspects of his past. Was there a particular source or event that guided these choices?
