Written only months before Austen's death in 1817, Sanditon tells the story of the joyously impulsive, spirited and unconventional Charlotte Heywood and her spiky relationship with the humorous, charming Sidney Parker.

So komisch ist selten über den Schulalltag gesprochen worden: Comedian Herr Schröder feiert seine Schüler für ihre sprachliche Kreativität, wenn sie ihn als "Korrekturensohn" oder "Kommaficker" verhöhnen. Beleidigungen auf dem Schulhof findet er völlig in Ordnung - solange sie im dreihebigen Jambus erfolgen. Und Metaphern wie "Opferabo" und "Eckenkind" wecken in ihm den Stolz des begeisterten Germanisten. Johannes Schröder war selbst 12 Jahre lang Deutschlehrer, hat seine Schüler mit Gedichtinterpretationen gequält und dabei täglich tapfer die Sinnfrage unterdrückt.

"Perfectionne ta physique, et tu comprendras mieux la nature ; épure ta raison, bannis tes préjugés, et tu n'auras plus besoin de ton dieu." Tout est là-dedans. L'œil droit et fier, le menton relevé, le buste gonflé.

Cette rébellion n'est pas vide de philosophie, d'humanisme, d'une certaine forme de sagesse athée, ou d'un esprit raisonnable assez ouvert et doté de bon sens, pour pouvoir sur quelques points séduire même les croyants.
