Wild for Austen: A Rebellious, Subversive, and Untamed Jane by Devoney Looser
pub date - 9/2/25
Amazingly well researched biography of the Jane Austen she was as opposed to the Jane Austen most think they now due to her time of birth and circumstances? It’s written by a female regents university professor of English? The professor is also a Jane Austen scholar? Say no more and sign me right up.
I really appreciated this book - I found it to be a fascinating read and I learned many new things about one of my favorite authors.
Wild for Austen is a love letter to Jane Austen and the author’s sincere feelings about Ms Austen and her work shine though, making this a joy for for Janeites (or Austenites) to read along with anyone interested in learning more about the JA’s life and works.
