Reviews'A book of … essays by academics, it is informative rather than opinionated, and provides a stimulating digest of ideas and information about Austen.' Literary Review, "...the Cambridge Companion to Jane Austen supplies us with just the kind of ionformation we need to become sharper, more appreciative readers of her. This book summarizes and extends our knowledge, surveys the critical and biographical fields, and suggests fresh readings...." Jocelyn Harris, Letters in Canada, 'A book of new and recent essays by academics, it is informative rather than opinionated, and provides a stimulating digest of ideas and information about Austen.' Literary Review, "The Cambridge Companion to Jane Austen, edited by Edward Copeland and Juliet McMaster, offers a number of distinctly different views on Austen (and the Austen 'industry') by a nice mix of well known and emerging Austen scholars. Well organized around large, nearly onotlogical categories such as 'money', 'class', 'religion and politics' as well as the letters and Austen 'cults and cultures', this volume is a fine companion not only for the recently initiated, but also for those who have spent many years luxuriating with Austen's fiction." Joseph W. Childers, ‘A book of … essays by academics, it is informative rather than opinionated, and provides a stimulating digest of ideas and information about Austen.’Literary Review, 'A book of ... essays by academics, it is informative rather than opinionated, and provides a stimulating digest of ideas and information about Austen.'

SynopsisA comprehensive guide to Austen’s works in the contexts of her contemporary world and present-day criticism., Leading scholars present a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to Jane Austen's works in the contexts of her contemporary world, and of present-day critical discourse. Beside discussions of Austen's novels and letters there are essays on religion, politics, class-consciousness, publishing practices, domestic economy, style in the novels, and the significance of her juvenile works., In The Cambridge Companion to Jane Austen leading scholars from around the world present Austen's works in two broad contexts: that of her contemporary world, and that of present-day critical discourse. Beside discussions of Austen's novels there are essays on religion, politics, class-consciousness, publishing practices, and domestic economy, which describe the world in which Austen lived and wrote. More traditional issues for literary analysis are then addressed: style in the novels, Austen's letters as literary productions, and the stylistic significance of her juvenile works. The volume concludes with assessments of the history of Austen criticism and the development of Austen as a literary cult-figure; it provides a chronology, and highlights the most interesting studies of Austen in a vast field of contemporary critical diversity., Leading scholars present a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to Jane Austen's works in the contexts of her contemporary world, and of present-day critical discourse. Besides discussions of Austen's novels and letters, there are essays on religion, politics, class consciousness, publishing practices, domestic economy, style in the novels and the significance of her juvenile works. A chronology provides biographical information, and assessments of the history of Austen criticism highlight the most interesting recent studies in a vast field of critical diversity.
