What I love about this 1898 letter is that if we assume that the writer "an elderly lady" was born in, say, 1828, she probably first read a Jane Austen novel in the 1840s, just about two decades after it was published. It's like somebody reading a 2001 novel today. — PolitiTweet.org

What a wonderful letter to the editor. And a wonderful piece. https://t.co/RsYZNtIyJZ https://t.co/ac5yv7ymyb
