DC and Lisa welcome the brilliant journalist and author Jane Caro and discuss Jane Austen’s Persuasion.  The conversation explores Austen’s subversive feminism, including Anne Elliot’s speech on women’s constrained lives, and how class, money, and prestige function as “false gods.” Caro contrasts Austen’s treatment of servants as largely invisible with the Brontës’ more fully realized servant characters, and praises Persuasion’s secondary figures.
