A Companion to Jane Austen cover

Reflecting the dynamic and expansive nature of Austen studies, A Companion to Jane Austen provides 42 essays from a distinguished team of literary scholars that examine the full breadth of the English novelist's works and career.

  • Provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date array of Austen scholarship
  • Functions both as a scholarly reference and as a survey of the most innovative speculative developments in the field of Austen studies
  • Engages at length with changing contexts and cultures of reception from the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries

"The advantage is that the chapters tend to be manageable, clear, and focused - perfect, in fact, for assigning to undergraduate and beginning graduate students." (Notes and Queries, March 2010)

"This book would be a worthy addition to any university, school and even private library in a place where Austen is read and re-read." (Transnational Literature , May 2009)

"Austenites should be delighted with this comprehensive survey of contemporary Austen studies. [...] This should become a standard Austen reference. Highly recommended." (Choice, August 2009)
