Apparently, someone forgot to tell Mr. Leithart that literary criticism must, by its very nature, be dry and tedious! His critique of Austen's novels is both enlightening and surprisingly engaging.
If you already love Jane, read this critique, then revisit the stories again with his insight.
If for some inexplicable reason you have avoided Ms. Austen ("that's girl stuff," or "I don't DO romance"), perhaps his evaluation (specifically the first chapter: Real Men Read Austen) might persuade you to dive in, head-first, with enthusiasm!
