[quote=Anonymous]I recently read a book called Jane Austen's Bookshelf that explores some of the women writers who influenced Jane Austen. I was annoyed by the author's tone and comments, especially at the beginning of the book, because she repeatedly talks about how she's such an experienced reader (and a rare book dealer) and she'd never heard of any of these women. I didn't think at least half of them were obscure at all for someone in her field and with her interests, so those comments made me roll my eyes a bit. Have you heard of or read any of the following authors? Frances Burney Ann Radcliffe Charlotte Lennox Charlotte Smith Hannah More Elizabeth Inchbald Hester Lynch Thrale Piozzi Maria Edgeworth I had read books by four of these authors before reading Jane Austen's Bookshelf.
