AN UNFINISHED BUSINESS: THE PENGUINS’ APHORISMS
Austen was also a fan of making mead—she once lamented to her sister, "there is no honey this year. Bad news for us. We must husband our present stock of mead, and I am sorry to perceive that our twenty gallons is very nearly out. I cannot comprehend how the fourteen gallons could last so long. Austen lived to see only four of her six novels published.
She died on July 18, at the age of 41 following complaints of symptoms that medical historians have long felt pointed to Addison's disease or Hodgkin's lymphoma. In , the British Library floated a different theory—that Austen was poisoned by arsenic in her drinking water due to a polluted supply or possibly accidental ingestion due to mismanaged medication.
The Library put forth the idea based on Austen's notoriously poor eyesight which they say may have been the result of cataracts as well as her written complaint of skin discoloration.

Both can be indicative of arsenic exposure. Critics of the theory say the evidence is scant and that there is equal reason to believe a disease was the cause of her death. As Matthew Birkhold of Electric Lit points out, judges seem to have a bit of a preoccupation with the works of Austen.
Birkhold found 27 instances of a judge's written ruling invoking the name or words of the author, joining a rather exclusive club of female writers who tend to pop up in judicial decisions. Harper Lee and Mary Shelley round out the top three. According to Birkhold, jurists often use Austen as a kind of shorthand to explain matters involving relationships or class distinctions. Half of the decisions used the opening line from Pride and Prejudice: Others invoke characters like Fitzwilliam Darcy to compare or contrast the litigant's romantic situation.
In most cases, the intent is clear, with authors realizing that their readers consider Austen's name synonymous with literary—and hopefully judicial—wisdom. People are either charming or tedious. It is never any use to oneself. A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. That is their tragedy. Dorothy Parker said it best in a issue of Life: Subscribe to our Newsletter!

Some believe Austen's death was a result of being poisoned. She's been cited in at least 27 written court decisions. Midcentury American writer Shirley Jackson has long been known for her spooky short story " The Lottery ," which caused widespread controversy when it came out in The New Yorker in and continues to appear in short story anthologies today.
Her equally haunted novels are less widely read. But now that her novel The Haunting of Hill House has been turned into a hit Netflix series, her work is on its way to a critical and popular revival more than 50 years after her death. A well-reviewed biography as well as new releases of some of her short stories and previously unpublished writings in the last few years have no doubt helped.
Many modern writers cite her as an inspiration. Shirley Jackson has a number of fans among modern writers. Shirley Jackson was her family's chief breadwinner. A literary critic who taught literature at Bennington College, it was his job that brought the couple to the small Vermont city, where Jackson often chafed at being placed in the role of faculty wife. She claimed to be a witch. In keeping with the haunted themes in her writing, Jackson studied the history of witchcraft and the occult, and often told people she was a witch—though that may have been in part a publicity tactic.
A Rather Haunted Life: Knopf, with whom her husband was involved in a dispute. Reviewers found those stories irresistible, extrapolating freely from her interest in witchcraft to her writing, which often takes a turn into the uncanny. She often joked with her editors about bringing about victories for her favorite baseball team, the Brooklyn Dodgers, through her magical abilities. Her interest was definitely real, though.
