It's a modern day epidemic on social media. Suggested by an audience member at the Jane Austen Festival in Bath, Julia Golding takes a look at oversharing in the era of Jane Austen, from letters, to memoirs, to roman à clef, to cartoons, her time was not without its places to spill the beans. Who is  the worst oversharer in Emma (there are lots of them!) and what is wrong with being too reticent? Have a listen and then add your thoughts.

Also mentioned in this episode is Miss Austen by Gill Hornby and events at the Jane Austen House https://janeaustens.house
