The Darcy Myth: Jane Austen, Literary Heartthrobs, and the Monsters They Taught Us to Love by Rachel Feder

It’s a fun, pop-culture-oriented read, and looking at P&P through a Gothic horror lens is an interesting and innovative take, but I think it’s meant for a younger audience than me: it’s quite superficial and repetitive, it mostly ignores the wider historical context in favour of very modern interpretations, and really, while I think the “Darcy myth” concept is a real thing that needs examining, I’m not convinced that Darcy himself is the best example of the concept.
