She writes about Emily Eden as one of the women writers in the 1800s who "borrowed" from J.A., in part because Jane Austen's books began to be forgotten very soon after she died. I still haven't read these, tho I've had the green Virago edition for ages. But I want to!!Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14912114716426828436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-42705197090751160792017-08-04T11:38:52.423-04:002017-08-04T11:38:52.423-04:00You've really made me want to read this again,...You've really made me want to read this again, I remember loving it, but can't remember much else about it at the moment.
