Hourly History has excelled again! I've read most of Jane Austen's books many times and thought I knew everything about her. This book proves how wrong I was. There were three times Jane might have married; I only knew of two. No wonder she was so astute about understanding people, she was surrounded by lots of relatives and friends.
Although I love Pride and Prejudice and have read it dozens of times, I really think Persuasion is her masterpiece. Jane seems to very little to work with the character of Anne Elliot, who is over-the-hill and her attractiveness is fading. However, the story is beautiful.
Thank you to Hourly History for writing a quick, comprehensive analysis of her life and times.
