"Descending from Jane Austen"

My review/essay, "Pride and Precariousness," is in the Jan. 25th issue of the TLS, along with Reddit, London's private clubs, gender and gamers, and free speech. Sure, these things blend! . . This time my piece is behind a paywall. It could be the right time for you to to subscribe, if you don't, because that's a fabulous thing to do, if you're able to afford it. Other motivated readers without deep pockets could email me . . .
