Searching for Jane Austen
A study of Jane Austen's life and writings, this work surveys two centuries of editing, censorship, and fiction that created a pious, wistful, romantically pining, and frustrated Austen. It serves up an antidote to that icon - a dynamic, brave, and buoyant writer - by examining subtle self-portraits in the author's works.

"The Serjeant at law was formerly a barrister of the highest order or rank belonging to the serjeant's Inn of Court and taking social but not professional precedence of king's counsel. Sergeants at law enjoyed, down to 1845, the exclusive right of audience as senior counsel in the Court of Common Pleas. The order has become extinct since 1877."

Women from Silver Bend
Three women—Arleta Goodfellow (a photographer, sometimes a whore, sometimes a mistress), Susan “Su Wah” Washington (who is half Chinese, the illegitimate daughter of a missionary, and is trained in medicine by life on the road), and Sponetta Faye (the innocent daughter of a traveling preacher, a runaway child wife, and at last a gifted landscape artist)—all pass through each other’s early years, leaving long-ago memories both good and bad. In later life they meet again, causing life-altering changes.
