Okay,
I’m thinking of two literary works which have each retained a very different sort of
fame for centuries, both of which have all of the eight following
specific elements:
ONE:
They both involve one or more “rambles” in “parks” during which encounters
occur between romantically involved couple(s).
TWO:
They both involve one or more “balls” which (of course) involve “dancing”.
THREE:
The man at the center of both works has a complex personality and is from a
noble family.
FOUR:
That man’s wife is named Elizabeth, whose maiden name is 6 letters long, with
the middle 2 letters a repeated consonant, and the last two letters “et”.
FIVE:
They both refer several times to St. James.
SIX:
There is an overt or covert reference in both works to “much ado”.
SEVEN:
In both works, there is a social event with an in-your-face sexually
transgressive person at its center, at which the guests make “merry”.
EIGHT:
In both works, someone named Jane Bennet plays a key supporting role in all
of the above.
So
what two ramous literary works am I thinking of, and what are the names of their two very famous authors?
Cheers,
ARNIE
