Gr 10 UpThis overview of the life and times of Jane Austen opens with a biographical sketch followed by critical appraisals of her novels. These essays are drawn from a broad range of scholars and critics, from John Halperin to W. Somerset Maugham and Fay Weldon. The selections are easily accessible to students, and the thematic approach will be particularly useful for term papers. Considering Austen's newfound popularity, this title will be heavily used by students and teachers alike.Elizabeth M. Reardon, McCallie School, Chattanooga, TN
