Google Ngram Viewer chart comparing the frequency of “Jane Austen” and “The Odyssey” in English-language books from 1800 to 2022. Both phrases are rare before the mid-nineteenth century. Mentions of “Jane Austen” rise sharply after about 1860, fluctuate through the twentieth century, and then climb steeply after 1990 to roughly 0.000075% by 2020. “The Odyssey” increases more gradually, reaching about 0.000020% by 2020.
