Some quotes from the book:"One of Jane Austen's greatest talents is that she presents sexual tension with such subtlety."
"For all the body's powers and vulnerability, [Austen's:] novels demonstrate that, for her, the real dance of life lies in language and in understanding."
"Each of us has a private Austen."
This was a wonderful collection of quotes on Austen and her works. This book even throws in the criticism and condemnation quotes! Yes, I can't believe they're out there! Great read for Austen fans everywhere!
