Jane Austen is one of the most widely-read novelists in the English language, and one of very few pre-Victorian writers to have a large popular following. This book situates Austen in the literary and historical context of her time, and combines critical introductions to each of her six major novels with an exploration of key themes of her work.

Pressestimmen

The book offers some valuable lessons for those first meeting Austen. It clarifies well how her free indirect discourse grew from her recognizing the limits of epistolary style; how sentimental histrionics can function as indirect social critique; how her overlooked biting wit hearkens back to Fielding and ahead to Waugh. . . John Morillo, NC State University, Eighteenth-Century Fiction
