Jones sets out to teach the reader how to read self-consciously, to understand their own interaction with the text of a novel and ask why and how the author writes. With chapters o n themes such as marriage and money, judgment and irony, self and society, the author dives deep into the way Austen uses language and plot to develop these issues. There is a strong section on the critical debate on Jane Austen's works, with suggested further reading. Valuable to the student, there is a chapter on "how to write an essay." Very good condition. Macmillan Press Ltd. Hampshire and London. 1997. Paper. USED. $12.00 Show more
