The new Austen bio

Posted by Jane Elizabeth on November 25, 1997 at 10:45:20:

Sorry to interupt the P&P discussion, but today's New York Times has a gushingly positive review of the new Austen bio by Claire Tomalin. It sounds like the liveliest and most readable one yet. Also, the reviewer praises Tomalin's understanding of the novels and their relationship to Austen's social world.

Let's all be sure to order it through Bookserve!

PS to Kate: Glad you're hosting this board now...but when will you write all those scholarly articles? Or is this an example of altruistic procrastination?
