Edited by Ben Wiebracht and his students at Stanford Online High School. In the 1810's when Austen published her novels, Doctor Syntax was all the rage. Jane Austen surely knew thi s most popular poem of the age. A scrawny clergyman traipses around England in search of picturesque sights on his rawboned nag. The Doctor explores many of the same subjects Austen explores in her novels. In addition to the original work and all 31 Rowlandson illustrations that accompanied it, this book includes abundant notes on the text, a biographical essay on William Combe, and many notes that show parallels between Combe's work and Austen's novels, minor works, and life. The Austen references have their own index in the back. Pixelia Publishing. 2024, Paper. NEW. $20.00 Show more
