A review by secreteeyore
Jane Austen, the Secret Radical by Helena Kelly

5.0

If I could rate this with 10 stars I would. The author uncovers the layer just beneath the surface of Austen's well-known stories for the modern reader. Some themes I knew of, in the case of Mansfield Park's slavery issue, but Emma's enclosure acts was news to me. My favorite was the Sense & Sensibility chapter. I couldn't believe it, yet it is all there! Fascinating stuff, and so well researched.
