Jane Austen, The Secret Radical puts that right. We just don’t read her properly – we haven’t been reading her properly for 200 years. She writes about serious subjects and her books are deeply subversive. Her novels don’t confine themselves to grand houses and they were not written just for readers’ enjoyment. ‘A sublime piece of literary detective work that shows us once and for all how to be precisely the sort of reader that Austen deserves.’ Caroline Criado-Perez, GuardianĪlmost everything we think we know about Jane Austen is wrong. ![]() Jane Austen, the Secret Radical (Hardback) Helena Kelly ![]() ![]() ![]() Yet since his death, J Dilla has become a demigod: revered by jazz musicians and rap icons from Robert Glasper to Kendrick Lamar memorialized in symphonies and taught at universities. ![]() ![]() He died at the age of thirty-two, and in his lifetime he never had a pop hit.

It is a curious thing, do you know, Cranly said dispassionately, how your mind is supersaturated with the religion in which you say you disbelieve.
