Was Jane Austen the Big Bang of novel reading?
Jane is not the big bang of novel reading, but she was part of the inflationary period of our early reading universe. In fact, studying what Jane read suggests a much more happening reading era in the 1700s. That surprised me because few books from that century are read for fun today.
What is your biggest pitfall when beginning to read Jane Austen?
I think the biggest pitfall when beginning Austen (especially if you’re not in the habit of reading classics with more antiquated style and language) is to miss the HUMOR. Austen is funny. And if you can’t recognize the humor, you miss out.
Is Emma by Jane Austen worth a read?
In P&Pthings are happening to the Bennet family, but in Emma, Emma is calling many of the shots (with disastrous results). It’s a funny novel with lovable townspeople (a must!) and arguably THE BEST Austen hero of them all–Mr. Knightley. And by arguably, I mean, I will argue with anyone who disagrees with me on this.
