I love Jane Austen. SHe writes brilliantly. Pride & Prejudice is my favourite, and at the moment I'm reading Persuasion, which could easily become my favourite.
Emma was just brilliant. I agree that is one of the best novels in the ninteenth century - it is just so beautifully written. Plus it doesn't help when you imagine Jeremy Northam as Knightley.
Does anybody else think that for a nineenth century novel, Northanger Abbey is quite modern in terms of writing?
