edit data

I have a passion for creative investigation--digging deep into the heart and soul of characters, while also engaging them in the complex and often dangerous world in which they have a stake. I have an abiding regard for courage in the face of adversity, which shows in my work.

I seek to be precise, accurate, and intellectually rigorous but also to write with the language of the heart. I want to explore all that makes people what they are as complete but fallible human beings, while testing their mettle in every way possible.

My nonfiction shows the same respect for clarity of thought about matters of substance, complexity, and nuance.

Friends,

Let me provide an end-of-year thanks to all my subscribers. I hope during these very difficult times my thoughts on Jane Austen, the Regency era, and other related issues may have offered a small but welcome diversion from the pandemic and hard times and isolation that a lot of people are experiencing.

Many of you have been with me since I began this blog five years ago. A few are new. I ho

Same old sentimentality Much of the worst features of 18th-century novels, including perfect heroine and moustache-twirling villains, occasionally interrupted by a good passage.

Good look at Eudora Welty Nicely put together biography of the Mississippi author that provides insight into her life, her friendships, and her motivations as a writer. Not an exhaustive biography, but gives more than enough to interest any Welty fan.
