It was good but I bought the wrong book for class☠️

Very useful for those who want to find out more about Austen's life and work, and those who need references for their own work.

A very academic take on Austen. If you're studying her work, writing a paper about her, or you want historical context for her novels, this isn't a bad book to pick up. Not so much a fun read, even for the hard core Janeites.

rachel m. brownstein on northanger abbey, sense & sensibility and pride and prejudice, carol houlihan flynn on austen's letters, juliet mcmaster on class, isobel grundy on literary tradition & claudia l. johnson on austen cults & cultures -- of particular interest, or just of particular clarity & charm.

john f. burrows on style at times insightful, but v grating others. gary kelly on religion & politics, dry dry dry.
