Bitch In a Bonnet: Reclaiming Jane Austen from the Stiffs, the Snobs, the Simps and the Saps by Robert Rodi (Volume 2: Emma, Northanger Abbey, Persuasion)
Requirements: ePUB or AZW3 Reader , 1.6MB
Overview: Novelist Rodi (Fag Hag, The Sugarman Bootlegs) continues his broadside against the depiction of Jane Austen as a “a woman’s writer … quaint and darling, doe-eyed and demure, parochial if not pastoral, and dizzily, swooningly romantic – the inventor and mother goddess of ‘chick lit.'” Instead he sees her as “a sly subversive, a clear-eyed social Darwinist, and the most unsparing satirist of her century.”
In this volume, which collects and amplifies three years’ worth of blog entries, he combs through the final three novels in Austen’s canon Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion with the aim of charting her growth as both a novelist and a humorist, and of shattering the notion that she’s a romantic of any kind.
