This Jane Austen question is somewhat complicated, like so many other thing= s about Twain.=20

As Barbara Schmidt indicated, my 1980 book summarized the ideas that I and = others have advanced about his expressions of vitriol whenever this classic=  author was praised. Copies of my 1980 work have become increasingly diffic= ult to locate, but the first volume of a revised and expanded edition that = I recently finished should be available later this year or early next year.
