Austen read William Shakespeare, John Milton, Daniel Defoe, and Samuel Richardson, all authors I had read. She also read Frances Burney, Ann Radcliffe, Charlotte Lennox, Hannah More, Charlotte Smith, Elizabeth Inchbald, Hester Piozzi, and Maria Edgeworth, all authors I hadn’t.

I love books that take me down rabbit holes. I hadn’t considered before the writing that might have inspired Jane Austen. This book details what she read - and some of it is still available. It adds another layer to the Austen story.
