Zusammenfassung

Who were the women writers that inspired Jane Austen? Why have they all but disappeared from our bookshelves? Rare books dealer Rebecca Romney sheds a light on Austen's inspirations and contemporaries in this page-turning literary adventure, publishing to coincide with the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth.

Rebecca Romney is a generalist rare book dealer, handling works in all fields, from first editions of Jane Austen to science fiction paperbacks. Romney is the author of Printer's Error: Irreverent Stories from Book History (with JP Romney) and The Romance Novel in English: A Survey in Rare Books, 1769­-1999. Her work as a bookseller or writer has been featured in The New York Times, The Atlantic, Forbes, Variety, The Paris Review, and more. In 2019, she was featured in the documentary on the rare book trade, The Booksellers.
