Jane Austen mentioned in book reviews
Jane Austen’s novel Persuasion is quoted in a review of two books about women in history in the Guardian.
Marilyn French set herself a vast task in deciding to produce this monumental history of women, and the decision itself is admirable. It has been argued many times that, as Jane Austen said nearly 200 years ago, “Men have had every advantage of us in telling their own story … the pen has been in their hands.”
We would imagine both of the books reviewed would mention Jane at some point.
