'Any new book on Jane Austen raises the urgent question, Would I get more pleasure from reading this than from re-reading my favourite Jane Austen novel? If you decide to give What Matters in Jane Austen? a chance you'll know after a few pages that you've made the right choice' John Carey, Sunday Times 'Almost as good as finding an unpublished novel' The Lady Is there any sex in Jane Austen? Why do her plots rely on blunders? And which important characters never actually 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.
