编辑推荐 Review
"All undergraduate and graduate libraries will want this volume." D.L. Patey, Choice

"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

"...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

Product Description
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.
