Reviews

This book, with twelve essays by emerging and well-known Austen scholars, makes a persuasive case for Jane Austen's deep and fruitful immersion in the arts and material culture of her day. It is an excellent book, offering new insights into all manner of art, music, and theatre in Austen's life and in her fiction.
