Description

Highlights of this episode include celebrating the wit, insight, and quiet boldness of Jane Austen — the clergyman’s daughter who transformed English literature. We’ll revisit how her sharp eye for love, class, and human absurdity gave us iconic works like Pride and Prejudice and Emma, and why her humor still feels surprisingly modern. Whether you adore Mr. Darcy or just appreciate a well-placed social critique, this episode will help you sound like the most sophisticated guest at your next cocktail party.
