Five myths about Jane Austen
It’s been 200 years since readers first met the serious-minded Elinor Dashwood, heroine of Jane Austen’s first published novel, “Sense and Sensibility.” Austen-mania got off to a slow start, as the four books published during her lifetime were anonymous. But it has made up for time lost. Now, Austen is a superstar. Films, sequels, prequels and updated versions of her books bring her plots (and her life) to readers and moviegoers. And then there is the work of the academics: She was heartbroken by an Irishman — no, she was gay; she was conservative — no, she was a feminist. We love her; we hate her; we can’t agree about her; we know we should read her. Myths about her abound, but there are some truths we should universally acknowledge.

May teaches English Literature at a university in Baghdad, to a class of girls and, even though nothing could be farther from the reality surrounding them, she leaves her house every day to talk to them about Jane Austen. Old times’ skirmishes vs real war. Read more: thesecretunderstandingofthehearts
