Jane Austen

Originally issued in 1965 and now back in print from Routledge, this study by Wendy Craik examines all six of Jane Austen's completed novels: Northanger Abbey, Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma and Persuasion. Each novel receives close reading, and the book reviews the novels as a body of work.

Beyond the analysis of the individual books, Craik looks at the methods Austen used to choose the material she included and the way she organised it within her fiction.
