I wonder what your thoughts are about the representation of parents in Austen's work and what we can say, or perhaps only speculate about, given the lack of source material on her relationship with her own parents.

John, would you like to come in on that one?

I could keep going with these listener questions all day.

That's all we have time for.

Thank you so much to our listeners who sent in so many questions.

And to Emma, John and Lizzie, thank you so much for joining us to answer some of them.

Thank you.
