Le Faye), London Review of Books, vol. 17, no. 15 (3 August 1995), and David Nokes’s article ‘Cassandra’s Partner’ in Times Literary Supplement (15 September 1995). The widespread misinterpretation of Castle’s article, fuelled by the sensational coverline ’Was Jane Austen Gay?’, provoked this restatement of her argument in the following issue (‘Letters’, London Review of Books, vol. 17, no. 16, 24 August 1995): ‘The culture at large [of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries] reinforced – far more than our own culture does today – same-sex intimacy of all sorts. To point to a ‘homoerotic’ dimension in the Austen/Cassandra relationship is in one sense simply to state a truth about the lives of many English women in the early nineteenth century: that their closest affectional ties were with female relations and friends rather than with men.’
