In this fascinating, revelatory work, Helena Kelly - dazzling Jane Austen authority - looks past the grand houses, the pretty young women, past the demure drawing room dramas and witty commentary on the narrow social worlds of her time that became the hallmark of Austen's work to bring to light the serious, ambitious, deeply subversive nature of this beloved writer. Kelly illuminates the radical subjects - slavery, poverty, feminism, the church, evolution among them - considered treasonous at the time, that Austen deftly explored.

This book is wonderful. A great deep dive into the time and social context of Jane Austen herself, her family, and the readers she hoped to have.
I only with the performer hadn’t chosen to change accents during different parts. Otherwise a great read/listen.
