Robert P. Irvine, of the Department of English Literature, University of Edinburgh, has previously published on Smollett and Scott.
Robert Irvine's edition of Austen's Pride and Prejudice is a
wonderfully illuminating text of an often misunderstood classic.
Irvine's introduction is subtle, shrewd, and penetrating, offering
a convincing historical and cultural interpretation of Austen's
novel that will help readers to understand its full complexity." -
John Richetti, University of Pennsylvania
"Elizabeth and Darcy come to life—rich, historical life—in this
brilliant Broadview edition. Thanks to a compelling introduction
and capacious appendices, we can see how their private compromise
enacts a public one: old and new wealth merge as the English
appropriate their own elite 'as an aesthetic phenomenon'—an
appropriation that transforms national identity into a matter of
'culture.' Irvine's Pride and Prejudice matches a carefully
annotated text with a critical frame that synthesizes the seemingly
disparate strands—political, socio-economic, feminist—of recent
Austen criticism." - Clifford Siskin, University of Glasgow
