Author Description

Combining rigorous historical scholarship with a keen sense of contemporary critical theory, Darryl Jones produces a series of detailed textual, contextual and ideological interpretations of the complete works of Jane Austen. Jones insists on the topicality and political relevance of Jane Austen's writings, both to her own times, and to our own, and examines how the author engaged with issues of sexuality, class, and nationalism. --book cover.
