Jane Austen: Women, Politics, and the Novel by Claudia L. Johnson

rankkaapina's review against another edition

4.0

I really REALLY liked this book. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was that being more of an academic book, the text didn't flow that well, and it was easy to let your mind wander... I loved reading about the more political side of Jane Austen as people tend to concentrate on the romances and in my opinion they miss a lot. Although, I have obviously missed a lot as well, as I noticed (I might need a brush-up with my regency history of England...). I didn't agree with everything, but all in all, I thought this was a very insightful and thought-provoking read.

Useful analysis of Elinor's skepticism, but mostly not concerned with the questions I'm interested in.
