On the Sofa with Jane Austen is a collection of essays that first
appeared in the Regency World magazine. They celebrate the
quirkiest corners and cleverest contrivances of Jane Austen's art.
The twenty-one topics range from coiffure to crime, from gossip to
grandmothers. The title comes from the first essay, but it is also
an invitation to spend time with a well-loved author in a relaxed
and intimate way. The essays are: On the Sofa; The Hair was Curled;
Lady Bertram's Fringe; A Very White World; The Silence of Mr Perry;
Plump Cheeks and Thick Ankles; Reading Aloud; Arms and Legs Enough;
November in the Novels; Words Overheard; Home Comforts; Shoelaces
and Shawls; The Freshest Green; Neighbourhood Spies; She is Pretty
Enough; Small World; Devoted Sisters; Theft and Punishment; Heroes
and Husbands; Only a Grandmother and finally, Dear Mary.
