Jane Austen The Banker’s Sister By E. J. Clery in I Love Jane Austen (May 2017)
Reviews
This book has plenty of original research material on Jane Austen's banker brother Henry, and the corrupt financial system in which he worked and for a while profited from. That is interesting and Henry's role in Jane's writing and publication history are well illustrated. It is a pity then that sometimes the author stretches credibility a bit in connections which she claims exist between the works and places/people Jane knew through Henry, and also how far the events of Henry's life show more influenced themes in the books. Such connections may exist but often this is no more than conjecture. show less
