In Satire, Celebrity, and Politics in Jane Austen, exciting new discoveries reveal Austen's opinions on the state of the nation, Captain Cook's death, and women's right to comment on politics, including the slave-trade, while allusions to celebrities demonstrate her worldliness, fascination with politics, and relish of rumor.
