Politics

Politics Written by Bridget D (3/19/2011 5:09 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Except that, penned by Kathleen Glancy

I can find no evidence that Austen took any real interest in politics or that any of her novels coudl be read as any kind of political satire.

The Dedication of "Emma" Jane Marie (3/18/2011 5:54 a.m.)

A Novel of the Day Jane Marie (3/19/2011 9:36 a.m.)
No, your first view was right Kathleen Glancy (3/18/2011 12:17 p.m.)
- Emma dedication Bridget D (3/19/2011 6:40 a.m.)
  - If dedicating the book to him provoked her satire of him, no Tarn (3/19/2011 12:22 p.m.)
    - Except that Kathleen Glancy (3/19/2011 2:53 p.m.)
      - Politics Bridget D (3/19/2011 5:09 p.m.)
      - Good point. (nfm) Tarn (3/19/2011 3:06 p.m.)
- Whoops - by "later" I meant in subsequent correspondenc Kathleen Glancy (3/18/2011 1:26 p.m.)
I think Austen threw in a few references to the Prince Nina RG (3/18/2011 7:33 a.m.)
How much of the Prince is in "Emma"? Bridget D (3/18/2011 6:30 a.m.)
- Harriet's secret parentage may be a sly reference... Anne-Marie (3/18/2011 10:45 a.m.)
  - Harriet Bridget D (3/18/2011 5:36 p.m.)
  - I think it might Tarn (3/18/2011 1:12 p.m.)
    - Of course! Lisa Dalrymple (3/18/2011 4:31 p.m.)
      - LOL! Although Tarn (3/18/2011 5:36 p.m.)
        
        I need a ~suth~ Lisa Dalrymple (3/18/2011 6:23 p.m.)
  - I don't think so Kathleen Glancy (3/18/2011 11:36 a.m.)
