The Telegraph. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/books/authors/did-jane-austens-talented-brother-end-forgotten-history/. "I've always felt sympathy for one of Jane Austen’s brothers. James, the so-called writer of the family, was not the author's confidant like Cassandra, not her favourite brother, not even the most professionally distinguished. He was, like Mary, outdone by his siblings on almost every count."
