Devoney Looser is a writer and professor at Arizona State University. She also goes by Stone Cold Jane Austen, especially on roller skates.
Wild for Austen takes a deep dive into who Jane Austen was, but also how her stories- mild and tame as they may seem today- were pushing boundaries and considered "wild" for Austen's time (and frankly for a while after).
Looser is does a fantastic job of laying out her argument for how and why she considers Austen's work to be boundary pushing.
Wild for Austen is available now.
