`There can be no doubt of the immense value for the critical reader
of this impressive exposition of conflicting views concerning the
individual and society at the end of the 18th century.' The Review
of English Studies.
'the most accomplished 'close reading' to date of Jane Austen's
dialogue, and the most stylish book written on Austen since Mary
Lascelles's Jane Austen and her Art.' Marilyn Butler The London
Review of Books
'Readers of Jane Austen will welcome the return of Marilyn Butler's
learned and controversial book on Jane Austen, reprinted with a new
and extensive survey of recent scholarship. ... this book will be a
valuable addition to a scholar's library. Butler's thesis casts
light on Austen's fiction and her style emulates Austen'sw crisp
clarity. ... Butler writes informatively about her subject, rather
than about the need for the method. '
