Jane Austen's Quietly Revolutionary Gifts
Author Jolayne Hinkel brings Jane Austen triumphantly into the present with her pertinent insights and critique. She assures the reader that today, in our world of modern psychology and the 'New Theology, ' Jane Austen "would have been at home." The author devotes chapters to such principles as Generous Spirit, Self-Knowledge and Humility, explaining that "It is only when pride closes our minds to life's possibilities, that it becomes an enemy. Humility, then, for Austen, is a road to self-knowledge, a way to keep open to life, and she considers both self-knowledge and humility to be critical human values." Hinkel completes her thoughtful thesis with what she considers Jane's ultimate value, "Depth of Human Relationships." Do not be dissuaded by the petite size of this gem. It is an unexpectedly valuable addition to any avid reader's Jane Austen bookshelf.
