You might be hesitant to compare your work to Austen, but it is so apt! It's hard to think of a novel that reminded me as much of Austen than yours without becoming full-blown pastiche. I'm so looking forward to reading your next novel, whenever it makes its way into the world!

I just finished a reread of Mansfield Park last week so this landed in my inbox at the perfect time. I find MP the most baffling of Austen's novels, but I love rereading it because I feel like each time I inch a bit further towards some understanding of it. Your insights about the mimetic nature of the book are illuminating, and I'm looking forward to reading some of what you've linked here. Thanks for another great post! Enjoy your Northanger Abbey reread...it's my least read Austen as well so I might try to pick it up before the next Austen Math installment!

Wonderful as usual. I have only a slight regret : I wish you had also scored the eligibility of the single women on the same four criteria.
