“
Tracking the online activities of Janeites was pure research joy. I read stories that re-imagined beloved Austen characters in all sorts of different scenarios and contexts, from sporting tales, to narratives about the boy band, One Direction, to erotic and religious re-tellings. The range of material was staggering, as was the emotional and creative energy that went into the creation of these stories. Jane Austen definitely lives on in the twenty first century.
