Jane Austen's richly textured worlds have enchanted readers for
centuries and this neatly organised, playful book provides Austen
enthusiasts and students alike with a unique insight into the
much-loved writer's way with words. Using a lively A-Z structure,
Greaney provides fresh angles on familiar Austen themes (D is for
dance; M is for matchmaking), casts light on under-examined corners
of her imagination (R is for risk; S is for servant), and shows how
current social and cultural concerns are re-shaping our
understanding of her work (Q is for queer; W is for West Indies).
Through this approach, we learn how attention to the tiniest
linguistic detail in Austen's work can yield rewarding new
perspectives on the achievements of one of our most celebrated
authors. Sharply focused on textual detail but broad in scope it
broaches questions that, like Austen's work, will intrigue, delight
and inspire: Why are children so marginal in her storylines? Who is
the best exponent of matchmaking in her fiction? Why are many of
her female characters - but none of her heroines - called Jane?
Providing a new close-up encounter with one of our most celebrated
writers, this book invites a renewed appreciation of the infinite
subtlety and endless re-readability of a body of writing in which
every word counts.
