Jane Austen : Pride and Prejudice

'I haven't any right to criticise books and I don't often do it except when I hate them. I often want to criticise Jane Austen, but her books madden me so that I can't conceal my frenzy from the reader; and therefore I have to stop every time I begin. Every time I read "Pride and Prejudice" I want to dig her up and hit her over the skull with her own shin-bone.'

Century: 1800-1849 / 1850-1899     Reader/Listener/Group: Samuel Langhorne Clemens      Print: Book
