To really understand Jane Austen,

This review is from: Jane Austen: Parsons Daughter (Paperback)
Jane Austen grew up as the daughter of an Anglican rector. This had a huge influence on her development and outlook. While most of her clergy look foolish or even "un-Christian" one cannot assume that was how she felt about the clergy in general. I learned from this book to see what to her was assumed about Christianity and the clergy. Because she was writing for her contemporaries she didn't explain her views. She didn't need to. If you want to avoid the mistake of interpreting Jane Austen though 21st century eyes you should read this book. Miss Austen was not an Evangelical but her confidence that there was one God to be worshipped was a constant in her life. A valuable book and one I thoroughly enjoyed.
