Spiegazioni
aulsmith : Why does anyone have to read this pastiche of Emma?
sturlington: Adored it.
elkiedee: It's not a pastiche of Emma, it's a pastiche of some 20th century popular fiction, for example, Mary Webb. It probably has more in common with Northanger Abbey, in which Jane Austen mocked some of the popular Gothic fiction of her own time, than with Emma. I don't believe any book is a required read for everyone, but Cold Comfort Farm is very entertaining and interesting as a social comedy of its period.
