Jane Austin's books are like the victorian pulp romances...
the critics got it wrong by saying they "speak for the time" and
all that shit.. but ultimately, they're shallow and pointless pulp
romances just like the crappy Mills and Goons or whatever the hell
romance books they have now...
frankly, these books and the women's magazines which extoll the
"virtues" of materialism have a lot to answer for by dumbing down
their readers and filling their brains with a lot of crap
Ha.....if there is a consipration theory from Harold this would
be the one....Jane works for Harold ......Go shopping.
They probably made the wrong observation.....they should
have noted that the women at that "time" learned the wrong skill
sets instead of clerical skills the women learned to sew,
knit, sing, play string instrument, and read poems.
But again todays women that work in the offices also spend
their monies in Harold so i am not sure it will changed
much......
