| Summary |
To clarify: The Janeites are not a religious cult, but something in ways actually far stranger. They are men and women whose adoration of Jane Austen and her works go far beyond simple admiration or a quest for handsome hardcover editions. These people are truly, hopelessly obsessed. Deborah Yaffe, the author of this book, has closely observed the doings of the JAS (Jane Austen Society, for the woefully uninformed) for decades, providing her with a ringside folding chair to the growing madness of these friendly would-be Regency time-travelers. Thus, Among the Janeites offers us a full immersion experience in a realm where the rest of us will always remain outsiders. |
