Review
Stephen Mahony has managed to make the economics of eighteenth-century life crucial to every emotional beat of Austen s novels. With every page I was revisiting the novels skinned to the economic bones. He shows us through meticulous investigation of the country s eighteenth-century accounts that Austen s world is a frightening reflection of our own, and yet he writes so effortlessly and with such an engaging style. One is hooked from the start as we jog along in his erudite carriage through Austen s time and into our own. An unlikely reincarnation, Stephen Mahony has many of Austen s gifts. The two of them together make an utterly wonderful read. As he weaves us in and out of the economic comparison we relive the books with a sharpened eye and a seam of terror. He show us that the flesh of Jane Austen s exploration of love hangs on the flinty skeleton of money. --Fiona Shaw CBE, Actor
