Patricia Meyer Spacks Written by Laraine (1/27/2011 1:49 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, boredom, penned by Tamtam

has written a good book called Boredom: the Literature History of a State of Mind that takes Emma as one of her subjects. She also wrote a great book called Gossip that talks a lot about Austen and has a chapter on "The Tittle-tattle of Highbury"--perhaps you would enjoy what she has to say :)
