Synopsis

First published in 1968, Jane Austen’s Emma is a critical study of Miss Austen’s last completed novel. While often pausing to analyse and comment on major contemporary critics, Dr. Burrows provides a detailed insight into this outstanding novel. He has clarified certain of the book’s qualities, placing detail back into its proper context and perspective. Comic relief is contrasted with the serious and the sensitivity and capacity for change of her chief personages and the subtle use of such of Austen’s words as ‘sensible’ and ‘amiable’ are deftly treated. A select bibliography is included. This book will be of interest to students of literature, women’s studies, gender studies as well as to casual readers of Jane Austen’s novels.
