Wonder what you think: I always feel that Sense and Sensibility lacks the sentence-by-sentence fire of Austen's other works, so I actually prefer Northanger Abbey. The first half of Persuasion, which I believe was written before she got sick, to me is supreme (even though the letter scene at the end is absolute peak from character/narrative point of view). I think the Emma Thompson/Ang Lee movie is actually better than the book!
In any case, as a Custom of the Country advocate, I salute you!
navigated all the way from my email to the app just to give this a like ♥️ so well done!
thank you!!!
This is the best thing I’ve read this year

super super interesting, also can be tied into the performative male “epidemic” that’s trending??? you’ve added like three books to my tbr🫶🏽

Where, you ask?
Have you noticed... in P&P, S&S, E, and P, when the lovers finally breakthrough, Jane hides their conversation?
Where? Behind closed doors.
