Austen was belonged to “alt-right”. so it was rather radical approach. The “alt-right” – a movement of internet-savvy, far-right nationalists in the United States – likes to provoke. Its members gather online, exchanging extremist views on blogging platforms and message boards, sharing racist memes and trolling their ideological opponents on social media.  “Conservatives and progressives have been fighting over how to read Austen’s fiction for a century and a half,” said Looser, who has been researching Austen’s connection to politics for her upcoming book, “The Making of Jane Austen.”  But there are some liberal features of this novel.  “Pride and Prejudice is a passionate novel which vindicates personal happiness as a liberal moral category”
