Literary Twitter is all in a tizzy, and we couldn't be more delighted, because the burns are piping hot, and the subject of the controversy is novelist extraordinaire Jane Austen.

But the ~scandal~ really got going after the Post tweeted out the piece on Sunday.

Based on a cache of journals and letters, the author represents Austen as a woebegone "spinster" who somehow managed to write classics about love despite lacking experience in marriage herself. But as Twitter users pointed out, a writer does not need first-hand knowledge of a subject to write about it masterfully.

Fantasy and science fiction writers really took the objection to the next level, by applying the article's observation -- that Austen did not write about what she experienced -- to their own slightly more out-of-this-world work.

Others pointed out that, given Austen's life and work, she might not have felt *quite* the despair at being unmarried that the Post'sauthor suggests.
