Jill Pitkeathley

In the new novel Dearest Cousin Jane, author Jill Pitkeathley paints a wonderful portrait of Jane Austen’s cousin Countess Eliza de Feuillide. Eliza seems to have had an intoxicating affect on most of the Austen family, but Henry, James and Jane are the most taken with her. It becomes clear very early in the novel that Eliza had a huge influence on her as a young writer both directly and indirectly. Eliza gives Jane a copy of Mary Wollstonecraft’s The Vindication of the Right of Women. I thought this as an interesting detail to add, but perhaps a little too assertive on the author’s part. Eliza encourages Jane to write and it is implied that Jane even used her as a model for some of her characters in her novels. Pitkeathley offers an interesting look at an often overlooked relationship in Austen’s life. To a young Jane, her dashing older cousin must have seemed to be leading an adventurous life.
