Jane Austen is unique among British novelists in maintaining her
popular appeal while receiving more scholarly attention now than
ever before. This introduction by Janet Todd, leading scholar and
editor of Austen's work, explains what students need to know about
her novels, life, context and reception. Each novel is discussed in
detail, and the essential information is given about her life and
literary influences, her novels and letters, and her impact on
later literature. For this second edition, the book has been fully
revised; a new chapter explores the ways in which Austen's work has
prompted imitations, adaptations and creative spin-offs. Key areas
of current critical focus are considered throughout, but the book's
analysis remains thoroughly grounded in readings of the texts
themselves. Janet Todd outlines what makes Austen's prose style so
innovative and gives useful starting points for the study of the
major works, with suggestions for further reading.
