Gee. I read the article, and agree with you, but I have a bit of a hard time believing Matthew Keiser: "Austen’s novels are all about women battling internal monsters like their own sexuality, selfishness, and vulgarity. Modern readers can’t quite grasp the horror those women felt for the earthier side of their natures..."
Although it is true that I utterly fail to grasp that horror when I read Jane.
Excellent quote.
