A review by thebibliotake_89
Jane Austen, the Secret Radical by Helena Kelly
4.0
3.5 Stars
For someone who is well-versed in all of the Austens and has read them both for pleasure and academic study, there wasn't a great deal of new findings or arguments for me, but it was nonetheless exciting to see Kelly's arguments published in a commercial book
I think this book is perfect for bringing awareness to the fact that Jane Austen isn't all chinz as often portrayed in film and TV adaptations, and I will continue to argue the case until I'm blue in the face.
