Today's NYT Book Review is teeming with Jane Austen bicentennial stuff,
which brings to mind a question I've always meant to ponder sometime:
what's the reason for Twain's violent, near-pathological animus against the
woman? I've never understood it, and I wonder if any Forum members have any
thoughts on the subject.
