Editorial Reviews

Review

'Davidson’s close readings are delightfully fresh, designed to provide formal accounts of how Austen’s fiction functions for the specialist and the common reader alike.' Gillian Dow, The Times Literary Supplement

'In this deft study, Davidson provides fascinating details about how Austen's novels were written and the world in which they were composed so modern readers might enjoy them even more. … Densely packed with vital information, this slim volume is hard to put down.' R. Shapiro, Choice

'Reading Jane Austen offers a useful guide through the intricacies of Austen’s works and world for undergraduate students and meticulous Austen fans; a quick, smart, satisfying read for Austen scholars; and nuanced musings on the nature and function of novel reading for all. For that audience, Reading Jane Austen provides comprehensive historical contextualization of Austen’s writing in terms of social practices and ideologies, deploying biographical information about Austen as well as analogies to our own time.' Jodi L. Wyett, Eighteenth-Century Fiction

Book Description

Lively and engaging account of the experience of reading Jane Austen, by leading scholar and novelist.
