What Matters in Jane Austen?: Twenty Crucial Puzzles Solved John Mullan

What are the right and wrong ways to propose marriage? What do the characters call each other, and why? And which important Austen characters never speak?

Inspired by an enthusiastic reader's curiosity, based on a lifetime's study and written with flair and insight, What Matters in Jane Austen? uncovers the hidden truth about an extraordinary fictional world.
