Sherwood Smith’s Reviews > Wild for Austen: A Rebellious, Subversive, and Untamed Jane > Status Update

Overuse of the word "wild" becomes increasingly teeth-gritting. And, sadly, the chapters less interesting, outside of the evidence of Looser's sublime skill at digging for minutae in the records that other scholars have overlooked. I may disagree completely with some of her conclusions, but the initial facts are intriguing.

Even when I flat-out disagree, Looser is always fun to read. I find her at her best when she really digs in on contemporary lives and lit.

I wish there was a bit less click-baity dragging in of "wildness" though, but that's a small creeb. It probably breezes right by on the audiobook.
