Author Robert Rodi has a blog on Jane Austen that takes an approach I have often been tempted by.
I think he's wrong, I should say that right up front, but wrong in a helpful way. I suspect he knows this too. He is taking a strong stand that, while contrary to Austen's spirit, helps shake us out of some misconceptions.
At some point I'll spell out what I think his basic mistake is.
Meanwhile, I think I'll follow his example. I'm just going to write out what I think and then come back and see how stupid it seems in retrospect.
