harriehqWhy is "Too Much: How Victorian Constraints Still Bind Women Today" by Rachel Vorona Cote spending a whole-ass chapter comparing & contrasting Anne Shirley and Emily Byrd Starr as if the distinction MATTERS in the grand scope of things instead of just making a self-indulgent case for the author's "specialness" in preferring the more "obscure" Emily and when, AS THE AUTHOR HERSELF POINTS OUT, THEY AREN'T EVEN VICTORIAN. THEY'RE EDWARDIAN.
