Works cited here are either quoted in the text of Megan Fox's Jane Goodwin Austin web site, or were useful in gathering and consolidating the scant information available on her. To the best of my knowledge, this includes every instance where allusions to JGA appear in print, with the exception of some of the plethora of reviews done of her work in the 19th century.
