My first source is the Reading Experience Database (RED), which provides scholars and others alike with accurate documentation of the readership of specific authors and their works. A second source I will use is Deidre Lynch's book Janeites: Austen's Disciples and Devotees. I will focus my analysis on chapters 3 and 4 which include “Number Sense: Austen's Work as Regency Popular Fiction” by Barbara M. Benedict, and the last of the chapters which covers “Decadent Austen Entails: Forster, James, Firbank and the 'strange taste' of Clara Tuite. A third source is Katie Halsey's book on Jane Austen and her Readers, 1786-1945
