“[A] Companion to Jane Austen Studies, edited by Laura Cooper Lambdin and Robert Thomas Lambdin, distinguishes itself from other such collections through its detailed attention to Austen's critical reception(there are seperate essays for each of the novels, as well as the juvenilia and unfinished work)as well as to such Austeniana as the poems, charades, and prayers.”–Studies in English Literature.




(Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations)

This is a useful basic guide to studying Pride and Prejudice. It includes a biography of Jane Austen; a summary and analysis of the story; list of characters; bibliographies of her works, and works about her; information about contributors and an index.



Derdre Le Faye









This book contains rarely seen archive material and special photography of locations still in existence today.

With a wealth of fascinating details about Jane Austen's life and times, this book brings to life the world of her novels which have given rise to a spate of films and television dramas: the film,Sense and Sensibility, was a major Oscar winner in 1998; Emma, starring Gwyneth Paltrow, was a huge box office success in 1996; most recently Pride and Prejudice starring Keira Knightley was released.

Austen scholar Deirdre Le Faye first gives a meticulously researched overview of the period, from foreign affairs to social ranks, from fashion to sanitation. She goes on to consider each novel individually, explaining in detail its action, its setting, the reaction of public and critics and Jane's own feeling about it. The lavish illustrations, many never seen before, allow the reader to visualize the places and people of the novels. This book is essential reading for students of literature and of social history, and for all Jane Austen enthusiasts who want to gain a new insight into her work.
