    i’m not a big fan of plays, id prefer to just read a book, but this shit was funny! elizabeth inchbald there’s a reason you killed. this was a translation she did of a german play and changed to better suit the british but this was so funny, like wdym the butler only gossips in rhyme like hello??

    i do now further understand the scandalous nature of the play when it’s used in mansfield park

    also it’s a play that doesn’t need a ton of context for modern day readers to get the punchlines (i’m looking at you shakespeare)

    guys it took me a long time to get into this one (like i had it and renewed it on libby literally 5 times) but once i got into i was going!

    this lowkey like makes me want to cry and pisses me off and makes me happy at the same time!! like reading about all these women and the novel(s) they wrote and what their lives were like and the erasure of their impact on literature (and some genres) in general, oh my god it made me feel so many things. like there were obviously some points that lagged and i did have to slog through it a bit (no offense rebecca but i actually didn’t find the book dealing bits as interesting) but AHHHHHH. like my tbr is now full of these women and their novels and i’ve never felt more inspired to read 18th century literature!!

    i LOVE austen and knowing that once i read some of these (esp the ones austen directly references in northanger abbey) i just know im gonna get even MORE depth than ever! it absolutely kills me when i read about stuff like these women being erased and jane only really being put into canon bc she wrote a tiny bit later and her nephew published a biography and some letters after her death… like jane could have been one of these women, set to the side for hundreds of years.

    all in all a good read (and not as long as it looks guys, at least a good 25% of the books is the notes at the end lol) and so eye opening to more female literature and even the culture and laws they had to live through! piozzi is my diva and i would KILL for charlotte smith

    i know obviously it’s going to be about her journey and how she found these books, but so far i’m wishing she was talking a little bit more about all the books. like she mentions more than just evelina in the burney chapter but doesn’t describe what those books are about, only evelina

    Naomi Novik, I am sorry to have doubted your writing. Don't read A Deadly Education first. Read this. Then get disappointed by A Deadly Education. This is masterful fantasy work and by far one of the most unique retellings ever.
