In praise of Jane Austen
Cuimris
(4 Sterne)
An interesting account of the superiority of Jane Austen's œuvre, written from the point of view of a 19th Century Scottish individual. The reading is flawless, but the style is that of the 19th Century, which the 21st Century listener may find somewhat tedious & pedestrian
