"I think we can all agree that Jane Austen's life was much more multidimensional than past family, friends, & critics may have portrayed. No one lives in a vacuum. I love the indepth research and how logically and straight forward Ms. Looser puts it together in this book. I wonder if Ms. Austen perhaps did not see herself in a place to judge others' behaviors (In regards to her dastardly characters)" — Jan 01, 2026 11:31PM

“The ancient writer Suetonius tells the story that an inventor around 70 CE displayed to a Roman emperor a machine that could move columns, only to be dismissed with the objection that such labor-saving devices would cause the poor to starve by robbing them of employment.”
