Tea or Books? #78: 19th Century vs 20th Century and Two Unfinished Jane Austen Novels


Listen Later

Sanditon, The Watsons, and a whistle-stop tour of the centuries – we’re back!

In the first half of this episode, we take a suggestion from Elizabeth – do we prefer the nineteenth or twentieth century for literature? That’s an awful lot to cover, so we just look at British literature… and not very much of that tbh. But it’s fun!

In the second half, we look at Sanditon and The Watsons – two unfinished novels by Jane Austen – and pick which one is our favourite, and which we wish had been finished.
