If only some more of the letters had survived - or perhaps Cassandra's letters to Jane - we may have learned a little more about her reactions to the attention the books were receiving in her own lifetime.<br /><br />I'm going to get tickets to the Oxford Literary Festival this year to see Paula Byrne talk about her new biography of Austen.

I came to appreciate Austen best when I renounced the expectation we all tend to be raised with, that great art will be defined by its understanding of us. She is a great exponent of particulars in a world as anxious as ours, but not always in the same terms, for universals. For this she commands, by dint of that effort and no other, profound respect and recurring study.Laurenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972899387484460347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502245000248725118.post-66562634379965210762013-01-19T16:51:05.710-08:002013-01-19T16:51:05.710-08:00Love her writing...what a great couple of clips.

How amazing it would be to have the opportunity to read from an original manuscript of Jane Austen. What would she think? I hope she would view her popularity and longevity with a smile and think to herself, "they got it".
