I'm looking for references of Winston Churchill referrring to Jane Austen. This past year I joined a Jane Austen reading group so I decided to dig up Churchill references relating to Jane. Here is the one I found so far. >From Winston S. Churchill’s Closing The Ring Chapter ‘In Carthage Ruins’ (page 425) * This is also referenced by Gilbert on page 609 in Road To Victory 1941-1945. December 1943 Carthage, Tunisia I had long ago read Jane Austen’s Sense of Sensibility, and now I thought I would have Pride Prejudice. Sarah read it to me beautifully from the foot of the bed. I had always thought it would be better than its rival. What calm lives they had, those people! No worries about the French Revolution, or the crashing struggle of the Napoleonic Wars. Only manners controlling natural passion so far as they could, together with cultured explanations of any mischances. All this seemed to go very will with M and B.
