I love that she included this important author in here that neither she nor Jane Austen liked, because she was a sanctimonious moralizer (Hannah More, in case you're curious).

I now have $100 of books in my online cart. Thanks, Rebecca! It's your fault if I click 'purchase' on this.

This is making me want to give Evelina and The Mysteries of Udolpho another shot. They were both 3-star reads for me. I haven't read Evelina since grad school.

She is also a Pamela hater. Increasingly feeling I must be friends with this author.

Men pitting women against each other professionally was happening in the early 1800s, it's not new. Jane Austen "won," and that's why she's in the Canon.

Ahh, yes, we have ourselves an autistic author. (She hasn't said so, I just know.)

Oh shit, this is already five stars. She's quoted Sherlock Holmes like six times in ten minutes. And she's talking about the Great Forgetting and how men deliberately left women out of the literary canon, even though they were the writers of most of the novels in Jane Austen's lifetime.
