Austen reveries

http://misssylviadrake.livejournal.com/28594.html

I discovered a new blog today--new to me, at any rate, thanks to the Jane Austen listserv. The entry that was mentioned discusses Margaret Atwood's Lady Oracle. Among others, she draws comparisons to Northanger Abbey; it's w wonderfully informative piece that has me reaching for some Margaret Atwood books I haven't looked at in many years. She is actually comparing "The Convent", a gothic published when Jane Austen was a young girl. I'm looking forward to settling down to read it at more leisure sometime soon, and probably going back to check out her previous entries.
