Disclaimer: I was predisposed to like this one from the beginning, so it’s fair enough to call me a partial and prejudiced reviewer. Jane Austen is often called the first feminist fiction writer, and a new take on her most popular Regency romance — coauthored by Austen, Seth Grahame-Smith, and Kenneth Grahame — puts the [...]
