Jane's Fame

How Jane Austen Conquered the World
Oct 08, 2018QuentinHayes rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
Jane's Fame is a fun, whirlwind tour of the rise of "Jane Austen" from barely acknowledged writer in her own lifetime to the promiscuous use of her texts for vastly different reasons in ours. Why do so many people love Jane Austen? Claire Harman will tell you. I particularly appreciated the historical tracing of Austen-attitudes through the nineteenth century.
