SYNOPSIS:

Set in Venice in 1885, The Aspern Papers is a story of obsession, lost grandeur, and dreams of Byronic adventures. Morton Vint, an ambiguous young writer fascinated by iconic romantic poet, Jeffrey Aspern, strives to get his hands on the letters Aspern wrote to his beautiful mistress, Juliana Bordereau. Now the ferocious guardian of their secrets, Juliana lives in a grand but rather dilapidated Venetian palazzo with her niece, Miss Tina. Posing as prospective lodger, Morton charms Miss Tina, who leads a very quiet life dominated by her aunt. At first hiding his real intentions, he eventually confesses his true passion to Miss Tina. She reluctantly agrees to help him. But do these letters really exist and what scandalous information about Juliana and Aspern will they bring to the surface?
