Jane Austen's Bookshelf by Rebecca Romney

5.0

informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

---

An already too full to-read list just ballooned. All the women who inspired or simply were in conversation with Austen and her letters and books while she was living and thereafter. Romney spells out the mode of their erasure and how easily it is done depending on whose voice the critiquing is done in — or how well they did their homework! Also fascinating about the feminist recovery tradition.
