It does seem strange that Jane Austen would be forgotten by her own countrymen but I think her popularity has experienced an ebb and flow over the years, even in England.elena maria vidalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129629173535139807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-73423770018027032162009-11-18T14:15:41.889-05:002009-11-18T14:15:41.889-05:00+JMJ+

In the story, the title character travels to Europe and gets to visit Jane Austen's grave. She is thrilled to be able to lay some flowers there, but her gesture toward a dead woman she never met puzzles one of the locals. He has never even heard of Austen's writing.<br /><br />Now, the book's style makes me think it is based on a tour of Europe which Coolidge herself must have made, and so the details seem very credible, BUT . . . is it really likely that an Englishman in the mid- to late-1800s wouldn't have the foggiest idea about Jane Austen?Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-66853934505142439802009-11-18T10:54:09.739-05:002009-11-18T10:54:09.739-05:00Having read her biography, it is true.
