From the Guardian:
The truth universally acknowledged, that Jane Austen was one of the most pristine literary stylists of all time, has been exploded: her punctuation was erratic, her use of capital letters eclectic and her paragraph breaks often nonexistent.The above passage, from the manuscript of Persuasion, makes me think of Emily Dickinson’s fascicles.
