20 hours agoDid Jane Austen even care about romance? - Harvard Gazette
Jane Austen may be best known for the romantic and witty 'Pride and Prejudice,' but Lynch wants readers to see the 19th-century novelist as more than a 'rom-com writer.' Lynch emphasizes that the marriage plot is not the thing Austen is most interested in; rather, she is focused on the complexities of being a good person, addressing themes of inequality, domination, and the power dynamics of her time.
