Who Was Jane Austen?

This article presents information on the book "Jane Austen," by R. Brimley Johnson. Mr. Johnson subtitles his book "Her Life, Her Work, Her Family, and Her Critics." This is, of course, a very large order and one that in less than 300 pages should hardly be attempted without considerable intrepidity. But it is true that many things are already known about Jane Austen and Mr. Johnson would hardly claim that he had done much more than bring them together in outline. However, the author opines that Mr. Johnson has completely failed to grasp the character of the women he so deeply admires.
