Reviews
On Aug 28 2021, a reader said:
I can't get over this biography. Some of the things that I've read about Jane Austen (in other biographies about her) are in reality taken very much out of context. This book explains the relevant context in very good style and in a persuasive manner. Perhaps this is because it written in the late 1930s and therefore expected biographers to investigate their subjects thoroughly. I'm impressed because Elizabeth Jenkins' dedication to detail showers illumination on the elusive backstory about the most egregiously snarky comments and accusations that are made about and against lovely Jane and her exceptional family. You will be amazed at the truth. Perhaps all of these little known golden back histories are not widely accessible anymore or it may be that other biographers just cannot or will not put in the time to get the story right. Whatever the reason for such detail and expository accuracy, I agree with the reviewer from the distant past, who said that she would never to lend her copy to anyone as she would greatly fear it's loss. If you want to become really familiar with Jane Austen's life get this book.
