The twenty-first century reader might well need a guide to the life and times of one of the English-speaking world's favorite writers. Enter Jane Austen: A Companion. Josephine Ross describes Austen's times--the art, architecture, fashion, furnishings, courtship, class, order, and rank of eighteenth-century England--to help clear up the kind of confusion readers of Pride and Prejudice and the other novels might encounter. Those who love Austen's work will appreciate it even more when they understand its allusions more fully. Others who are new to the genre will start off on the right foot!
