] So, no doubt, would Jane Austen, the most lucid and the least recondite* of authors, have thought after she had recovered from the shock of discovering that writings about her, by people she didn't even know, and who sometimes got quite personal, were being read...



Apart from the "conversation as a window to the self" thread, is he saying here that JA would be shocked that people are discussing her work?

I find that hard to believe, particularly since she is famous for keeping a detailed scrap book of every comment and criticism of her works that she came across.
