DIRTY NOVELS, DIRTY HISTORY, AND... JANE AUSTEN?

5/18/2021

This minisode visits a very white lady topic: the Jane Austen House Museum.  Mandy announces her disdain for romantic classic literature, and Katy outs herself as a gas station smut-lit aficionado.  But we're both here for the Austen museum's decision to include more context to Austen's writing by addressing the roles of colonialism and slavery in her history.  Yet, not everyone is on board....ahem, white ladies. Shout out to Vanessa Riley's insightful op-ed in the Washington Post: A Jane Austen museum addressing Regency-era slavery? How sensible.
