Jane Austen's Textual Lives

From Aeschylus to Bollywood

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This is a new kind of critical study of Jane Austen, an author we think we all know. It is shaped by an enquiry into the ways her texts and her reputation have been constructed from manuscript, in the printing process, through editing, family censorship and continuations, biographical invention, and up to recent film adaptations.
