Book Review: Awesome Book...!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an awesome book. Everything you ever wanted to know about Jane Austen, her novels and the customs, environment, habits, etc. for the settings of her novels as well as for the setting of her own background is in this book. I practically read it from cover to cover when I first sat down with it. I had gotten it from my local library, read it, told a friend about it, loaned the library copy to her, bought my own copy. She read it from cover to cover also - couldn't put it down. Fascinating!!
Answers such questions as:
Why were some ladies/'Ladys' referred to by their last name and why were some referred to by their first name - i.e. Lady Jane or Lady Smitherman (if the lady was a LADY and her name was Jane Smitherman)?
What was the MAIN indicator re: whether a man was wealthy or not?
Lots of information defining each main character of each of her 6 main novels throughout the book.
If you are a Jane Austen aficionado or just want to know more about her and/or her writings - GET THIS BOOK!
