Recs if you like Emmeline (Broadview Literary Texts)...

these are (some of) the books mentioned in jane austen’s bookshelf by rebecca romney, who uncovers the female authors before and of austens time that may have inspired her

Contains the complete works of Jane Austen, as well as books that inspired/influenced her, and interesting biographies.

Books that may have inspired her, as documented in the book of the same name. Updating as I work my way through the source material and some supplemental reading. Note: not all of these were Austen-approved, like Fordyce's sermons, lambasted in P&P. But we are also shaped by what we consider in poor taste and judgement.
