Sick and wicked
I’ve been reading Jane Austen’s manuscript works, i.e. the short stories and novellas and plays she wrote as a teen, as well as the works in progress she left behind when she died. I need an entire separate post to sob about her last novel, Sanditon; today what’s interesting to me is the subject matter of her early stuff, and how freakin’ different it is from anything she published. It’s…lurid. Violent. Austenishly satirical and smart as hell, but, like, there’s adultery and bastardy and bigamy all over the damned place, and people get poisoned and flung out of windows and have their heads smashed in by carriage wheels—it’s like a published Jane Austen novel reinterpreted by Punch and Judy.
It’s hilarious and awesome, and if it were anyone else, I’d enjoy it as no more than a typical teenaged enthusiasm for melodrama….except
“ If you can’t feel the anger burning underneath Persuasion’s leaf mould like a forest fire doused by brief rain, you have no business reviewing the novel.”
