"Halperin teases his Jane as he admires her, and by being so completely from another world does indeed makes us see her in a different way. He takes her right out of the incestuous love or hate embrace in which Janeites and anti- Janeites have concealed her so long. That is quite an accomplishment." -- John Bayley, New York Review of Books
"A fine contribution to Austen studies, for the details of her life, sound appraisals of her books, and identification of the many autobiographical elements in them." -- Edmund Fuller, Wall Street Journal
"An excellent book, agreeably and lucidly written." -- Fay Weldon
