Austen and Tolstoy

There is no mention of Austen by Tolstoy.  I don't think he read her.  
The topic is a dead end, in my opinion.  Tolstoy read Dickens, Thackery, 
Trollope, Eliot, Braddon, Wood, to name a few significant English-novel 
influences on Tolstoy. 
I would love to be corrected.  Edwina J. Cruise
