It's actually a truth universal that everyone knows that quote. But what of the writer? And what of her politics? Chesnaye takes us on a proper journey through Jane Austen's subversive political undertones. Everyone knows she's one of the greats but did you ever think about how her very existence as a novelist was a political statement? A legend of the literary, her political legacy was softened, but in the pages of her novels, and with a sharpness that could cut the very paper she's printed on, Austen said more about the injustices of our world than we give her credit for.
