A thinking back to char closterman's episode, and he can't talk, but whatifwere wrong? He speculates in there as to who would be the great, a iconic rock and roll figure a hundred or 200 years from now. And his view, if i remember correctly, is that that question is going to usually be determined by some set of obscure academics writing scholarly work on something that wasn't scholarly at all. So i want you to defend your claim about jane austen, that that her editions for the masses made her a canomical figure, part of the literary canon. I'm ok, fair enough. Academics read editions, and people read books.
