Quotes by Deborah Yaffe (?)

“Scholars have glorified [Jane Austen] and patronized her, sometimes simultaneously. They have called her writing artless and instinctive or conscious and careful, labeled her a conservative or a subversive, a domesticated lady or an ardent feminist. They have burrowed beneath her seemingly placid surfaces to ferret out the sex and the politics.”
